Caps for Sale submitted by Alliemayzee on August 5, 2014, 10:07am This is a classic that always holds my kiddos' attention.

Classic submitted by Bookeepers on July 15, 2018, 8:34pm A simple classic that my 3 and 5 year olds love.

Caps submitted by i'm a blobfish on June 14, 2019, 6:08pm So funny! It's about a man trying to sell hats but certain things happen causing he to lose them. Follow him as he goes to get them back!

such a classic submitted by Sara W on July 19, 2019, 9:27pm I learned about this book from Reading Rainbow and it's still such a fun read. The angry cap seller and the mischevious monkeys are a timeless match.

Timeless submitted by joshuahoffman on June 16, 2021, 5:22pm This book never gets old. I read this as a child and it was one of my favorites. It's now my child's favorite and we read it often. Truly a fun read aloud.

Easy to come back to submitted by severian on June 30, 2021, 9:09pm A simple story that is surprisingly deep. Never look at a good cap the same way again!

Surprisingly fun! submitted by Msprenger26 on July 2, 2022, 9:42pm Fun for the parent and loved by the kids. Happy to read it again!

We love this book! submitted by NINAMEU on July 20, 2022, 7:54pm My 3 year old has it memorized!

Delightful for young and old alike submitted by JennJenn on July 22, 2022, 3:32pm We have long loved this story with the counterplay of the responses between the man and the monkeys. Worth reading again and again. My husband had fond memories of it from his childhood before we started reading it to our kids.

Interesting author submitted by jibkidder on July 22, 2022, 10:20pm Esphyr was an avant garde artist who shared her first children's book (with collaged artwork) "Mary and the Poodies" with the Gertrude Stein influenced Margaret Wise Brown, and, as a result, opened up a new career path. In here later art career, she made things out of typewriter parts.

Love it submitted by alexdimitrijeski on July 7, 2023, 11:35pm Great book for kids of all ages!
