Amazon.com ReviewSubtitled A Tale of a Supplier, Some Monkeys and Their Monkey Business, this absurd and very simple tale has become a classic, selling hundreds of thousands of copies since its first publication in 1940. A supplier walks around selling caps from a tall, tottering pile on his head. Unable to sell a single cap one morning, he walks out into the countryside, sits down under a tree, checks that all the caps are in place, and falls asleep. When he wakes up, the caps are gone–and the tree is full of cap-wearing monkeys. His attempts to get the caps back generate the kind of repetitive rhythm that 3- and 4-year-olds will adore. (Preschool and older) –Richard Farr

I remember my teacher reading this book to the class in Elementary school. It was fine for passing the time at school but looking back I remember not being attracted to the illustrations or the tale. It basically did nothing for me as a child. As an adult I looked at it the additional day and still could not know the appeal for this book. Of course, that is just my opinion and it seems a lot of people seem to be attracted to it.

I bought this for my grandson (who is 5 months ancient, but the book will wait for him). It is a simple small tale of a hat seller plagued by monkeys who steal his hats. The line drawings will be fantastic for finding details in the pictures and the tale will be simple for him to remember. Untested so far, but I reflect he will like it.

This is a classic! It should be in every children’s library. Children will laugh at the monkeys and marvel about the supplier. If parents act out this tale your children will permanently remember this one. It is an brilliant tale.

My 4 year ancient son has loved this book since he was 3 and continues to question me to read it for him to this day. The tale itself is mediocre to me but as long as my child likes it, I can’t really complain. The largest problem I have with this book is the color of the illustrations. I don’t know why nobody else has pointed this out yet before. The man in the book has several sets of caps, “his own checked cap, then a set of gray, brown, blue, and red caps”; but, the colors in the book are not consistent. The blue caps in the illustrations are more of a green hue and the red caps are certainly orange. When my son was younger, I just read the book as it is but now that he is older, he has pointed out the colors do not match the tale. So now whenever I read it to him, I have to replace the colors myself so they match the illustrations. It’s not the largest deal in the world but for such a well-known and highly praised book, I would’ve expected a name to mention this. And also, maybe in the future, the illustrator can right the colors before production.
