Coinciding with the bicentenary of the birth of Hans Christian Andersen, comes this retelling of his comical fairytale about a fashion-crazy emperor who will stop at nothing to have the most talked-about outfit in the land! This level is perfect for children just starting to read confidently on their own. These are 48 pages in length with 1000-1500 words. They use fairly short, simple sentences and everyday vocabulary. Typically, these titles contain several short stories or one longer story divided into chapters. Fables, folk tales, history and contemporary fiction form the mainstay of this level.
Funny and colourful this illustrated retelling of a Hans Christian Andersen classic will find young readers treasuring this edition. Amusingly illustrated throughout by award-winning cartoonist Mike Gordon.
