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. Ideal for children ages 3-6, but other ages enjoy it as well. This book has all the elements that are essential in a good picture book. The child who hears this story one time, will have no time "reading" this book on their own, over and over. Great large group story book that will have the children asking you to read the book again and again. Since Esphyr Slobodkina’s Caps for Sale was first published in 1940, millions of children have savored the original tale of the Peddler, his caps, and a band of very funny monkeys. Lots of humor with the monkeys that steal the peddler's caps. The plot is simple and easy enough for the very young child to understand and will keep the interest at the same time. Caps for Sale: A Tale of a Peddler Some Monkeys and Their Monkey Business by Esphyr Slobodkina and a great selection of related books, art and collectibles. The story has great rhythm that will keep the children repeating the phrases that the cap peddler says over and over. It has charming full color pictures that are folk-tale simple and bold.
