main character is male
Obviously having much of the book based in a place where people are nude has reduced the ammount of bottom humor to be used so this is a much less joke based book.
This reimagining of the traditional emerors clothes starts with a town where people do not wear clothes and are happy with the idea. This could be used to illustradte the idea of peer pressure with people only choosing to wear clothes after the king has been triked into wearing them. There is also a part where he has not changed but because of how he lookes people are treating him differently.
As a simple story it has much to reccomend it. It also has points that can be used to being discussion on behaviour issues
