Caps for Sale: A Tale of a Peddler, Some Monkeys and Their Monkey Business

Barnes and Noble needs to step it up!!

This title is only compatible with the Nook Color. Despite B&N using images of this book to demonstrate the features of their Nook for Kids iPad app, it does not work with iPad. I was very excited to see that there were interactive kids books available to use on the iPad but with no sure way to know which are compatible and which are not, it makes the app practically worthless. I loved this book as a kid and hoped to share it with my daughter on the iPad. This book is 5 stars but the B&N version is a bait and switch!

NOOKBook is a joke. Can not even use.

This book is not even readable on a nook. The images and text are not even formated to fit on the scree. It's like the each page was converted to an image file that is the orig. size of the book even for text. Resizing the text does nothing. Called and B&N did get a refund. Sad I had to put 1 star to warn nook users because I love the book.

Support confirmed the book was not usable and could do nothing for other than refunding.

loved by 3 generations of our family

Fun story for kids to join in the telling and even "acting out" the parts. Illustrations are distinctive and appealing.

A family favorite!

My husband and I rediscovered this book about a month ago and it instantly became one of our son's favorites. He acts it out and dances to the songs (great touch!) We highly recommend this as an addition to your kiddoes Nook library shelf.

DO NOT GET THIS BOOK

It doesn't even let you download it. It just took my money and didn't even let me dowload. So it does not really work.

My Baby Loves It

Of course Caps For Sale is an awesome book, and personally I have a few complaints about the adaptation of this story for Nook, but I'm giving it 5 stars because my 16-month old turns on the Nook all by herself, selects this book, and plays with it over and over and over again!

The type is quite small, but if the book is being read to you by the machine, this obviously doesn't matter much. At first I didn't love that a few of the original illustrations had been crudely animated, but now I appreciate that this maintains the integrity of the original. There are a few interactive things my daughter won't do yet, but I'm very excited for when she's able to (find the different-colored hats, draw a sun, etc.) The person reading the story also sings some songs throughout, none of which I loved at first, but they're growing on me, maybe because I hear them a million times a day! Frankly, I think the music could be better, but like I said, my daughter really loves this book, so I'm happy with it too!

Fantastic

The story was well weirten for little kids to read when they are tired.

CAPS FOR SALE

Caps for Sale is a b ook that my now 40 year old son absolutely loved. He was introduced to it in a library story hour. I, of course, had to buy the book for him. I read it to him countless times. When he outgrew the story, I put it away for the future. Years later, I read the book to my 2 grandsons. I did have to purchase a new book for the boys, because the original book was falling apart. The 2 boys loved the book as much as my son did.

A classic every child should have

Its a cute book and one I use to reread as a kid.

Caps For Sale

B & N takes donated books for kids during the holidays. I purchased Caps For Sale for this purpose. It was one of my favorite books when I was a kid. I hope another kid will like it too.

LOVE IT!

My 2 1/2 old Grandson loves this book! We reread it all the time. The funny monkeys, the learning of colors, & sequencing are all learning ideas. He also likes the full story version. Remember that most board books are not the total story.

Great Book

We love this book. The repetition makes it great for young readers. And, the use of colored caps and monkeys delights ever time. A favorite of both of ours.

Children's Class in a Beautiful Format

My parents read Caps for Sale to me when I was a child, and now I have the pleasure of sharing this book with my children. The simple "monkey see, monkey do" premise elicits laughter from my kids each time they hear the story and see the pictures. For maximum affect, as you read the story aloud, be sure to reflect in your voice and movements the protagonist's increasing frustration with the monkeys as each page in the tale unfolds. I mimic the peddler's movements, and my kids mimic the monkey's movements, and everyone laughs. This book has been a favorite of multiple generations of children worldwide since 1940 and is worth adding to any child's library. Check out the companion book too -- "Circus Caps for Sale." Enjoy!

ALL TIME FAVORITE

When my children were small, my husband read this book to them over and over. It was one of their favorite books. When I looked for birthday gifts for my precious neice, Nylah, I bought this book for her. I cannot wait to read Caps for Sale to her, she is so smart and inquisitive, I know she will love it!

an oldie but goodie!

an enduring favorite in my family...bought this for a nephew
