Trade Review
It's incredibly clever and funny, with amazing illustrations which are as elaborate as the king's majestic wardrobe […] they're absolutely stunning and take the comedy to the next level * Picture Book Snob *
Safe to say everyone in our family has heard about the girls’ new story book ... It is so cleverly written in rhyme and the accompanying illustrations are fantastic! The attention to detail in every outfit and facial expression is just brilliant. My girls spot something new every time we read it together * Rascals & Rainbows *
Another fantastic book from Peter Bently! This cleverly written rhyming story is a fashionable twist on The Emperor’s New Clothes. Colourfully illustrated by Claire Powell, young readers will love this hilarious twist on a classic tale * FCBG Blog *
