Slobodkina, E. (1940). Caps for Sale. New York, New York: HarperCollins Publishers.
Brief Annotation: Once there was a peddler who sold caps. He carried his stack of caps balancing on his head. The first cap on his head, was his very own checked cap, then he had some gray caps, next some brown caps, some blue caps and at the very top was red caps. He walked the streets balancing the hats on his head while calling out, “Caps! Caps for sale! Fifty cents a cap!” We watch the peddler as he tries to sell his caps, but one day he could not sell any caps. He decided to rest and he fell asleep. He wakes up and to his surprise the caps were all gone, but where did they go? Will he get his caps back?
