Caps for sale.
I loved this book when I bought it for my children in the lat...e 1970s, loved it as a preschool teacher in the 80's and 90's, and I still love it. It has charming full color pictures that are folk-tale simple and bold. The story has great rhythm that will keep the children repeating the phrases that the cap peddler says over and over. " caps for sale, " etc. The plot is simple and easy enough for the very young child to understand and will keep the interest at the same time. Lots of humor with the monkeys that steal the peddler's caps. Great large group story book that will have the children asking you to read the book again and again. The child who hears this story one time, will have no time "reading" this book on their own, over and over. This book has all the elements that are essential in a good picture book. Ideal for children ages 3-6, but other ages enjoy it as well. I would rate this as one of the top 50 books for children in the 3-5 year age group as picture books go, and this one is in my top favorite 20 of all time, in the same category as Wanda Gag, and Million of Cats class.

A peddler that sells his hats crosses paths with some mischievous monkeys.
T...his is such a great book. I recommend the sequel that the authors understudy created based on her illustrations and inspired by the writing of this book. Beautifully illustrated and written. It gives a glimpse back into the past while keeping young minds engaged.

This book was a favorite with my own children and continues to... be so with my toddler students with special needs. As an early intervention special education teacher whose specialty is home care, I am always on the alert for excellent books, toys and games that will capture my students' attention and imagination. Caps for Sale is one of those books, because I can get my students to imitate the peddler's antics and increase their sense of humor at the same time, as well as increasing their language and focus. This book is a true classic. Phyllis L. Mandelbaum, MS,Ed.

Caps for sale book
I loved this book from the first time it was read to me.i...m building a small library for my grandkids and I wanted to make sure I got this one. I used to demonstrate this book by making the run and get all the hats we could find in the house and I would stake them on my head. Then I would stack the hats on their heads. We laughed and had a fun time.
