Reviews
If we lost our copy of Caps for Sale, I'd immediately order a new one; it's that good. The artwork is unique and engaging, and the writing is really lovely in a simple, concise way. Best of all, the story is fun and silly and has ample opportunity for little ones to act the story out alongside the characters--stomping feet, shaking fists, stacking imaginary caps on our heads. It's a classic for good reason!
