    I don't know how to rate this. The book I received was not the book that was ordered. The dust cover was wrong. I contacted the seller who immediately refunded my money and told me to donate the wrong book, which I did. To one of the little libraries in my town. So that said I cannot rate the book. But the seller gets a 10 from me. The book was shipped fast, well packed. The communication from the seller was very prompt. I will buy from them again. Thank you. Elaine

    A peddler that sells his hats crosses paths with some mischievous monkeys.

    This 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.

    Caps for sale book

    I loved this book from the first time it was read to me.im 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.

    Great addition for prop to use for a character comic cons or other appearances as cap man to add monkeys later. Childhood book from the '60s I remember.
