Sly Fox, a con artist who is a slight variation on Pinocchio's J. Worthington "Honest John" Foulfellow, has come to the Hundred-Acre Wood to hawk clothes made of magic cloth visible only to the wise. This take on "The Emperor's New Clothes" is a little slow and flat and doesn't really fit very well with the Pooh characters. For instance, I have a hard time believing Eeyore would lie about seeing the cloth when he'd be more likely to mope that indeed he's not a wise one with a despondent sigh of, "Figures." And Kanga seems to play along with the scheme for no given reason.

The art is a little off model, and Tigger's nose is colored black throughout in error.

(My Pooh Project: I love Winnie the Pooh, and so does my wife. Having a daughter gave us a chance to indoctrinate her into the cult by buying and reading her every Pooh book we came across. How many is that? I’m going to count them this year by reading and reviewing one every day and seeing which month I finally run out. Track my progress here:

Pooh's New Clothes is a fun story with nice illustrations--a worthy addition to the Walt Disney Fun-to-Read Library. ( )
