Since Esphyr Slobodkina's Caps for Sale was first published in 1940, millions of children have savored the original tale of the peddler, his caps, and a band of very funny monkeys. Now the charming, never-before-published sequel, More Caps for Sale, continues the story, picking up right where Caps for Sale left off. Those mischievous monkeys are at it again, bringing laughs to a new generation of readers!

More Caps for Sale is the first posthumous book from Esphyr Slobodkina and is based on story ideas shared with Ann Marie Mulhearn Sayer throughout their years as friends and business associates prior to Esphyr's death in 2002. The warmth and humor of the simple text and bright illustrations creates the perfect opportunity for early readers to experience a classic folktale tradition.

About the Author

Esphyr Slobodkina (1908—2002), internationally renowned artist and author of the children's classic Caps for Sale, was among the first female American artists to explore abstraction and the first to use collage in American storybooks. She studied art in Russia and China before immigrating to the United States in 1928. She was a founding member of the American Abstract Artists group, and her work is represented in prominent museum collections across the country.

Industry Reviews

"Rhythmic, repetitive, child-friendly storytelling. The story feels satisfyingly complete." -- New York Times Book Review "How often does a sequel pick up exactly where its predecessor left off-seventy-five yars later? A worthy successor to Slobodkina's original." -- Publishers Weekly
