More Caps for Sale ─ Another Tale of Mischievous Monkeys

Celebrate the 75th anniversary of the perennial favorite Caps for Sale with this never-before-seen sequel to the beloved classic! In this first posthumous book from Esphyr Slobodkina, those mischievous monkeys are at it again, bringing laughs to a new generation of readers! The sequel, More Caps for Sale, picks up right where Caps for Sale left off, as the peddler comes face-to-face with those monkeys and their funny business yet again!

When the peddler has another visit from a band of mischievous monkeys, he is dismayed because he can’t sell any caps! So he returns home, only to find that the monkeys have followed him, right foot, left foot, all the way, and they sit in the tree outside his house, dropping banana peels and making a mess!

And if that wasn’t bad enough, the monkeys are still not done with the peddler! They follow him to town and copy his every move. Will the monkeys’ antics ever stop? Yet despite their monkey business, they just might help the peddler sell his caps after all!

Esphyr Slobodkina and her longtime collaborator, Ann Marie Mulhearn Sayer, had many long conversations as they planned More Caps for Sale before Esphyr's death in 2002. With simple text and illustrations, and the charm and humor of the original, this sequel is the perfect book for early readers.

Esphyr Slobodkina (1908–2002), internationally renowned artist and author of the classic Caps for Sale, was among the first female American artists to explore abstraction and the first to use collage in American storybooks. She studied art in Russia and China before immigrating to the United States in 1928. She was a founding member of the American Abstract Artists group, and her work is represented in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
 
Ann Marie Mulhearn Sayer met Esphyr Slobodkina in 1996, when she was hired to write musical narratives for Caps for Sale and other Slobodkina books. Slobodkina and Sayer became close friends, and Sayer has administrated and exhibited Slobodkina’s fine art, children’s books, textiles, and publications for over eighteen years. Using original art by Slobodkina and reflecting upon hours of conversations with her on perspective and stylization, Sayer employed great care to develop each layout as the artist herself might have done. More Caps for Sale is based on ideas from Slobodkina’s books and notes, as well as Sayer’s imagination, with prior permission from Slobodkina. Through this posthumous story, Sayer awakens Slobodkina’s voice.
