Abstract
Previously copyrighted by Editorial Sol in 2004. This is an almost square book of just less than 8". This emperor has long blond hair and a thin black mustache. He graces the title page wearing blue and pink striped boxer shorts and nothing else. The two deceivers appear in this emperor's busy town announcing "nuestros trajes son invisibles para todos aquellos que son tontos" (8). The art is colorful and takes various forms on various pages, spilling back, for example, from 7 to 6. Is it logical for this emperor to think that if he has a suit of this cloth, he can learn who is a fool? The emperor's wildest outfit shows up on 17. One of the best illustrations shows the two weavers holding up the "clothes" for one of the emperor's counselors (19). A climactic moment comes when the emperor decides to ride his white horse out to the workplace of the weavers outside the city. The look on his face upon seeing his clothes is excellent (23)! These weavers drink through the night wearing their medals from the emperor before the glorious showing. In that grand procession, the thieving weavers can hardly contain their laughter. A "niño" is the first to say "está desnudo!" The emperor blushes. He and his counselors march on as though nothing had happened. The story is followed by engaging activities. But did the emperor learn something? And what did he do to those weavers?
