Since Esphyr Slobodkina's 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. Now the charming, never-before-published sequel, More Caps for Sale, continues the story, picking up right where Caps for Sale left off. Those mischievous monkeys are at it again, bringing laughs to a new generation of readers! More Caps for Sale is the first posthumous book from Esphyr Slobodkina and is based on story ideas shared with Ann Marie Mulhearn Sayer throughout their years as friends and business associates prior to Esphyr's death in 2002. The warmth and humor of the simple text and bright illustrations creates the perfect opportunity for early readers to experience a classic folktale tradition.
I didn't even know this sequel existed until the anniversary of the first Caps for Sale brought both Caps and More Caps for Sale to my door. While reading Caps for Sale to my kiddos they were met with much exuberance to More Caps for Sale as well. It is a good little continuance that makes for great discussion and repetition.
