Description

"Subtitled 'A Tale of a Peddler, Some Monkeys and Their Monkey Business, this absurd and very simple story has become a classic, seeling hundred of thousands of copies since its first publication in 1940. A peddler walks around selling baps from a tall, tottering pile on his head. Unable to sell a single cap one morning, he walks into the countryside, sits down under a tree, checks taht all the caps are in place, and falls asleep. When he wakes up, the caps are gone--and the tree is full of cap-wearing monkeys. His attempts to get the caps back generate teh kind of repetive rhythm that 3- and 4-year-olds adore.
