The Chinese Emperor's New Clothes by Ying Chang Compestine
4.0
When I first picked up this children's book at the public library, my first thought was, I loved the original story for this - The Emperor's New Clothes! And then I realized something - I had actually never read the original Hans Christian Andersen's story. What I read when I was a child was actually another adaptation - The Penguin Emperor's New Clothes. Nevertheless, I really wanted to see this Chinese twist to the classic tale.
And I loved it. I loved the story and the elements that were used to create this clever story and the young emperor's way to help his people. This adaptation keeps the fun and intrigue of the trick that the emperor uses and it's a lovely story that portrays truth reigning over lies and deceit.
It's definitely a great adaptation and I recommend it for a little diversity in children's books.
