Description

The New York Times bestselling and beloved Caps for Sale series by renowned illustrator Esphyr Slobodkina continues! Following More Caps for Sale , this funny and thoughtful read-aloud is inspired by The Elves and the Shoemaker . Here the monkeys prove to the peddler that while they may be mischievous, they can also be very helpful. Those playful monkeys who wore the peddler's wares in Caps for Sale just won't leave him alone. As he walks through the streets selling his caps, the monkeys follow behind him, and as he walks back home at the end of the day, they trail along too. All in step. The peddler is tired of their trouble, but when he asks his friend Essie for advice, she thinks he should give them one more chance before deciding they're no good. So when the peddler must go out of town to attend to a sick friend, the monkeys have a surprise in store for his return, showing that they might just be more mindful than they appear. Review: Getting to the punchlines with the kids - It was storytime in Belize yes this booknis always a great choice it get kids inside the story with you. Review: Great Book! - My two year old son loves this book. It is quite long for such a young child, but he sat through it from the first read and even asked to read it again after its completion. This book also added the word "nonsense" and phrase "not possible" to a less than two and half year old's vocabulary. We had originally borrowed it from the library, but he liked it so much that we bought a copy and still regularly read it several months later. Highly recommend!
