Product Description:
More caps for sale!
Pezzo, the hardworking peddler, is still selling caps in this delightful sequel to the beloved caps for sale. But what is that amusing performing elephant up to? And where have all Pezzo's caps gone? Will Pezzo get them back? Esphyr Slobodkina's classic artwork and timeless story are as endearing as ever in this new paperback edition.
Amazon.com Review:
For many, the words 'Caps for sale!' will elicit an old, happy memory of the favorite childhood story about a peddler who stacks caps on top of his head--until a band of monkeys gets in on the action. So they will be thrilled to spend a day at the circus with the same affable salesman in Esphyr Slobodkina's refreshed edition of the sequel to Caps for Sale. When the dapper peddler finds himself at a circus one day, he seizes the opportunity to hawk his wares. Unfortunately, a mischievous passing elephant seems to be his most interested customer. Soon caps are flying, to the delight of clowns, jugglers, tumblers, and especially the watching crowd. The story of how the peddler manages to reclaim--and then sell--all his caps, will charm the hat off any reader. We're glad a whole new generation of children can now experience Slobodkina's familiar, old-fashioned illustrations as well as the humorous, preposterous plot. (Ages 3 to 7) --Emilie Coulter

My kids love the story of this book. But the print quality is just ok. On several pages, the ink is very light.

My grandchildren loved hearing this story for the very first time last week. When requested to read it again, my 8 year old granddaughter read to the other 3... Took fotos as I was struck my their interest...
Thanks for another great buy!

My nieces and nephews love the Caps for Sale and Circus Caps for Sale books. I gave them the music and narration cassette version of the original Caps for Sale (with Ann Marie Mulhearn) to help them learn to read and they wanted more. So then I gave them Circus Caps for Sale. They love the illustrations and think the story is "neat." I've tried to find the music version of this as well--I understand it should be available soon but I haven't been able to find it. I hope Slobodkina's publisher(s) will re-release more of her children's books--they are a treasure.

Our 28month old son loves this book and it became the very first book he asked to keep in his crib at night while he slept. The original ("Caps for Sale") was also a favorite but our little music lover likes this one better because of the band and instruments. Great book to read soon after a child experiences a fair, carnival or circus because they can relate their experience to the book's pictures and story. The text is very good (but not as good as the very first book, simply because I think the very first book has truly outstanding text.) The book is very slightly, but not objectionably dated, with regard to race and gender depictions but the values depicted in the story are good and developmentally appropriate for toddlers on up. Definitely worth reading.

Our 3 1/2 year old thoroughly enjoyed this book - very first he loved the caps and then he loved all the circus going-ons. The sharing time served as a great introduction to a peddler and then had us empathize with his feelings and experiences as the caps were taken from him and then his unique personage recognized by the circus people. We highly recommend this book!
