Caps for Sale: A Tale of a Peddler Some Monkeys and Their Monkey Business

This is a title exceptionally close to my heart! A few years ago, we read this title in English with a few other families with similar aged kids when exploring the Before Five in a Row curriculum. During storytime, we followed the peddler's actions just like in the book, full of drama and emotion! We also brought all our hats together, and had a competition to see which kid could balance the most number of hats on their head while walking along a straight line. It was hilarious to say the least, and we laughed so much till our insides hurt.

We love the Mandarin version of this book too and had many funny moments guessing what happens next and mimicking the peddler. We also talked about what to do when we are angry, and the kids suggested better ways to keep the hats so they wouldn't get stolen.

Easy to read book
Dear Y, thank you for taking the time to write this review. Yes, this book is a good starter! Appreciate your feedback about the colours used for the hats. Realised that there was only one cover page on the product listing when you bought it - have since updated the page to include photos of the hats depicted together with the colour names side by side, so parents can make an informed choice from this point forward. I also went to do a little read-up on the Russian-American author and illustrator Esphyr Slobodkina, intrigued by her interesting take on colours! Turns out she was a celebrated avant garde artist, which could explain why her use of colours could be slightly unconventional compared to the hues we normally see. Grateful for this chance to share good books with your family!
