Our view
“Caps for Sale” is a funny, simple picture book that invites small children to join in. Its repeated lines ask for an answer from the listener, and the silliness that follows is half the fun of reading it aloud. First published in 1940, it still holds the attention of toddlers today. Adults should be ready to read it many times over.
