"Caps For Sale"
Based
on a folktale, the story follows the life of a mustachioed cap salesman
who wears his entire stock of caps on his head. He strolls through
towns and villages chanting, "Caps! Caps for sale! Fifty cents a cap!"One
day, the peddler sits down under a tree to take a nap, with all his
wares still on his head. When he awakens, all the caps but his own are
gone - stolen by a troop of monkeys, who now sit in the tree wearing
them. The peddler orders them to return his caps, scolds them, and yells
at them, while the monkeys only imitate him. The peddler finally throws
down his own cap in disgust - upon which the monkeys throw theirs down
as well, right at his feet. He stacks the caps back on his head and
strolls back to town, calling, "Caps! Caps for sale! Fifty cents a cap!"

mom used to read this book to me when I was younger. To
this day it is still one of my favorite books. Enjoy these warm summer
days and be sure to accessorize with some cute new headbands and hats!
