"'Caps! Caps for sale! Fifty cents a cap!' calls out the peddler as he walks carefully up and down the streets, balancing a huge pile of caps on top of his head. But when the cap peddler goes out into the country, he unwisely takes a nap, leaning against a tree, with the caps still balanced on his head. While he is asleep, a band of mischievous monkeys steal every one of his caps, except for his own checked cap." A story by Esphyr Slobodkina. Recommended for children ages 3 to 7.
