Amazon.com Review:
Subtitled A Tale of a Peddler, Some Monkeys and Their Monkey Business,this absurd and very simple story has become a classic, selling hundreds ofthousands of copies since its first publication in 1940. A peddler walksaround selling caps from a tall, tottering pile on his head. Unable to sella single cap one morning, he walks out into the countryside, sits downunder a tree, checks that all the caps are in place, and falls asleep. Whenhe wakes up, the caps are gone--and the tree is full of cap-wearingmonkeys. His attempts to get the caps back generate the kind of repetitiverhythm that 3- and 4-year-olds will adore.
