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.
