            I chose this book because I remember reading it as a young kid and I have not seen it since. It was on of my favorite books as a child. An emperor who loved fancy clothes had two men to make him the finest clothes he had ever seen. While the two men pretended to make his clothes to wear in the procession, he pretended to see them. In reality he has to go threw the procession without any clothes on.

            The illustrations in this book look to have been done with watercolors. They are very colorful. The book contains double page spread illustrations. According to the illustrations, the story looks to have a Chinese setting. The Font in this book appears to be large compared to other books that I have read.

            I think the book would be good for younger elementary children. This book would be good to use in the classroom. It can be use to teach children that they can not always trust strangers. I would also work on sequence of events by having children retell what happened in the book. This book also has a good bit of vocabulary that children might not understand. I would also use the book to help build vocabulary comprehension. This book has not received any awards.
