Caps for Sale: A Tale of a Peddler, Some Monkeys and Their Monkey Business
by Esphyr Slobodkina
Fun little picture book about a cap seller who loses his caps to monkeys and how he gets them back. The story itself is quite simple, and it's easy to see where it's going, but what I liked most about this was the illustrations. Because the peddler is none too bright, and wears all the caps stacked on top of his head, the environment around him is designed to mimic this. The illustrations - especially those of the village - have this matching vertical stretch about them that makes them really interesting to look at.
