Oh, those pesky monkeys! Ms. Slobodkina inarguably created a classic. The story and illustrations are simple, but striking, and both the problem and the resolution are humorous.

Loved this book as a kid, was ridiculous....that's probably why :)
Good, silly early reader book. Want to remember this one for our other children when they’re gaining confidence in reading.
(Read with little sister as part of the "1,001 Children's Books To Read")
Great book! Quirky story-line, quirky main character, clever ending, too.

A book about a peddler selling hats who takes a nap and has to deal with some mischievous monkeys!

While I enjoyed the illustrations and the straight forward, pleasant, story line, this book left me wanting. And while I would check out this book again from the library for my daughter (the illustrations are worth it, and the author herself has an interesting story worth sharing) , I would not purchase a copy for our home library.
Summary: Monkey see, monkey do ... and the peddler too! He can't get the thieving, mimicking monkeys to give his caps back. He throws his own hat on the ground in frustration. Presto! The absurd behavior (monkeys' and peddler's) keeps readers wanting to return to this children's book classic. (Thanks commonsensemedia,org!)
