Prince Sacha was the most fabulous bear in all the land. But when it came time for the annual Parade of Princely Prancing, he had nothing to wear. He called on dressmakers from far and wide to come up with an outfit for him. But nothing would do. Finally, he meets a rabbit dressmaker that presents him with an outfit that only the most fabulous animals can see. 

 In this retelling of The Emperor's New Clothes, Sacha learns to embrace his own inner fabulousness. The illustrations of the animals are bright and fun. The story is an interesting retelling of a favorite old tale that reminds us that we don't need fancy clothes to stand up and be ourselves.
