Celebrate the 75th anniversary of the perennial favorite Caps for Sale
with this never-before-published sequel to the beloved classic! In this
first posthumous book from Esphyr Slobodkina, those mischievous monkeys
are at it again, bringing laughs to a new generation of readers. The
sequel, More Caps for Sale, picks up right where Caps for Sale left
off, as the peddler comes face-to-face with those monkeys and their
funny business yet again.
More Caps for Sale is based on story ideas discussed by Slobodkina and
Ann Marie Mulhearn Sayer throughout their years as friends and business
associates prior to Esphyr's death in 2002. With simple text and
illustrations, filled with warmth and humor, this sequel is perfect for
early readers and follows a great folktale tradition.
Since 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, and now this charming sequel continues the story!
