But when the 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 steals every one of his caps, except his own checked cap. When he wakes up, his efforts to get his caps back make this a classic story in the great folktale tradition.

This is a good book for early readers because it is comic and the interest level is high. There is lots of repetition in the pattern of the writing, the type is large with few lines to a page, and the pictures help carry the reader along. Inc. All Rights Reserved.
