Oh!!!!! Loved this book like a brother!!! I always wanted a cap afterwards and a monkey to go along with it... I even remember the silly accents my teachers would give the salesman:)

This illustrations are fun and fanciful but I swear I cannot understand the appeal of this book where a hat peddler naps under a tree and awakens to find a troop of monkeys have stolen his wares. There are soooooo many better books.

    oh my goodness, I was trying to remember books from childhood and I have the exact same memory of Captain Kangaroo. I also remember his read-aloud of Mike Mulligan and Hist Steamshovel, MaryAnn

    Loved listening to Bob Keeshan do his read-a-loud of this book on his children's TV show, Captain Kangaroo, in the 1960's.
