I have read this book several times to classes of K-2nd grade and the children have always delighted in this simply perfect story. Its a book I would like to own for my own collection and have copies on hand for gift giving occasions. It's humorous, informative, silly, timeless and fun! (  ) MarthaL | Nov 11, 2009 |  My all-time favorite picture book as a child. All those monkeys! All those caps! And the simple scenes and language that repeated in a way that made me laugh out loud with glee. My mom was also very animated in her readings, acting out the imitations. ( ) ChiaraBeth | Oct 10, 2009 | This is a classic for a reason. Who among us doesn't remember being a child and copying the monkeys who copied the peddler? It has everything children love - mischief, logical consequences, a happy ending, and naps. Well, maybe kids don't love naps. Of course, I've always wondered where the monkeys came in. It never has seemed the sort of countryside you get those. (  ) conuly | Oct 5, 2009 | A good storytime title; lots of repetitive text and opportunities for acting things out and getting the kids to play along with you. As a reader, there's nothing too interesting for me in this story; the illustrations are in a flat limited color palette style. I did not read this as a child, so there's no nostalgia value here, sorry to say! (  ) allawishus | Sep 22, 2009 | Genre: Folktale Age: Primary Media: Pen and Ink This is a good example of a folk tale because it has been orally passed down from people to people. The peddler is trying to sell his hats until a group of monkeys steals them. The interaction between the two groups has fictional elements, adding to its merit as a folk tale. We also see a resolve in which there is justice. ( ) kyoder06 | Sep 21, 2009 |  no reviews | add a review
