Book Reviews of Caps for Sale: A Tale of a Peddler, Some Monkeys and Their Monkey Business
Book Review: Timeless appeal and lots of fun
Summary: 5 Stars
3 yr old boy loves this story. Timeless fun! Introduces historical concepts, peddler and walking distances v. driving as well as being set in a country town atmosphere. The monkeys return the hats demonstrating it was all in good fun and just playing a practical joke. Son doesn't think to ask why the monkeys are in a country that seems to have western style buildings or what time period in which it is set. It is simply a fun story and details are all in fun too! We have play acted this story by piling hats on our heads and taking a nap by the bunk beds only to have our own mankey steal them while we were "asleep". He loves being the silly monkeys and chattering back to us! Also, good posture and co-ordination practice for him to walk with a stack of hats. Overall, lots of fun for toddlers and young preschoolers!

Summary of Caps for Sale: A Tale of a Peddler, Some Monkeys and Their Monkey Business
Caps for Sale is a timeless classic, in print for over fifty years, and beloved by generations of readers. This easy-to-read story about a peddler and a band of mischievous monkeys is filled with warmth, humor, and simplicity. Children will delight in following the peddlers efforts to outwit the monkeys in this new, enlarged, and redesigned edition, and will ask to read it again and again.
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
