"Caps! Caps for Sale! Fifty cents a
cap!" calls the peddler. He's got all
kinds of caps to sell but this morning
no one wants to buy them. So he takes
a
nap under a tree. When he wakes up,
all
his caps have gone! He looks up and
sees the tree full of naughty monkeys
wearing his caps. Will he ever get his
caps back? This folktale has been a
favorite of children because it is
simple, humorous, and full of action.
It can be acted out or read aloud and
is
perfect for beginning readers. The
black ink and flat color illustrations
are simple, yet effective showing the
humor of the story. This is a classic
that children will ask for again and
again.
