Product Description
From Amazon
Subtitled A Tale of a Peddler, Some Monkeys and Their Monkey Business, this absurd and very simple story has become a classic, selling hundreds of thousands of copies since its first publication in 1940. A peddler walks around selling caps from a tall, tottering pile on his head. Unable to sell a single cap one morning, he walks out into the countryside, sits down under a tree, checks that all the caps are in place, and falls asleep. When he wakes up, the caps are gone--and the tree is full of cap-wearing monkeys. His attempts to get the caps back generate the kind of repetitive rhythm that 3- and 4-year-olds will adore. (Preschool and older) --Richard Farr

Review
"From an old folk tale [the author] has fashioned this bright picture book, infusing it with a humor which seems to have sprung from her own hearty enjoyment of the troubles of a peddler with a abnd of monkeys."" --The New York Times

One of mine favorites,
By
This review is from: Caps For Sale (Paperback)
This book is pure joy. I loved it when I was young. I picked it out for my daughter because it brought back the fondest memories of my own childhood. By the time they are two, children can easily memorize it and begin to distinguish words on the page. It's now become my daughter's favorite book to read. We both know it by heart. This is a must-have in any children's book collection. I highly recommend it. Another great book series for kids is "Why some cats are rascals".

A Good Story for the Kids,
By A Customer
This review is from: Caps For Sale (Paperback)
A timeless tale written in 1940 still attracts young children's attention. This is a very humorous, easy to understand book to read aloud. The story is accompanied with brightly colored pictures that actually tell the story. After reading it through children can re-tell the story by just looking at the pictures.It is a story that children will pass on to their friends.

Caps for Sale is a family favorite. My husband does a wonderful job at making the monkey noises. It's a fun story to act out.
