Caps For Sale

I don't ever remember reading this classic as a kid. I love it as an adult, though. And it makes my little guys giggle. Who wouldn't enjoy a story filled with monkey business?!
As an adult, I find that one of my favorite parts of the book is the dedication:
It is just so sweet and simple, and it commemorates a love that has passed on. Memories are so special. (Insert sappy soundtrack here.) Ok, y'all already knew I was a big ole' mushy-hearted gal, what did you expect?!
And, of course, the illustrations are incredibly fun! This one's my favorite:
Please disregard the horribly bitten fingernail in the above photo. That's how I roll...and we are all friends here... (not pictured: pajamas, frizzy hair, and incredibly messy house)
If, like me, you missed this one as a kid, go check it out at your local library and read it to your kids. You will both have a smashing good time!
