Amazon.com Review
Subtitled iA Tale of a Peddler, Some Monkeys and Their Monkey Business/i, 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) I--Richard Farr/I

Caps for Sale is a must have. January 7, 2009
My read this to me and I still remember it still almost 25 years later.
Wonderful through the generations December 30, 2008
My father remembers reading this book when he was a child and now my daughter has become a fan. It's an adorable book with a simple story. I recommend it.
Wow...timewarp December 29, 2008
Seeing this book for sale brought me back to when I was a kid. I have the hardcover from back in the late 70's. After all this time it sticks out a one of my favorites. If you have the chance I would definitely pick up a copy.
Me and my 2.5 year old son love this book August 30, 2008
This is a great book for kids, even young ones around 2.5 years old. It's an engaging story and my son loves the part where the man wakes up to find his hats gone, and looks up and sees all the monkeys wearing the hats! He asks me to read it everynight, and remembers the phrase "caps for sale."
love this book August 30, 2008
I loved this book as a child and I love sharing it with my children.
