Queen Library here. This is a story about my great, great grandfather.
In preschool, our job is to provide building blocks. One of these blocks is introducing the children to classic stories. They may not understand all of the lessons from these stories now. But if they are familiar with them, it will be easier for them to understand them later. It is why I always try to include classic stories. Most likely, they will hear them again in elementary school. Even again after that, when old stories are referred to in literature.
This classic Hans Christian Andersen story is a tale of honesty, speaking up and learning to trust yourself. It is hard to know what the children learned from this story – but they certainly understood that the king was NAKED. They could not believe he would go out in public like that!
Our vocabulary word.

We then had a “Royal Procession” WITH our clothes on. Hahaha.
Royal readers:
