[ 책 소개 ]

어린이 그림책의 Classic이자 영원한 베스트셀러로 인정받는 Caps for Sale의 연작입니다. Caps for Sale에서는 모자들을 머리 위에 올리고 다니면서 사람들에게 모자를 팔려던 모자장수가 모자를 훔쳐간 원숭이들 때문에 모자를 하나도 팔지 못했지만, 이 책에서는 사람들의 행동을 흉내내는 원숭이들을 이용해서 모자를 모두 팔아버린 모자장수의 재미있는 이야기가 실려 있습니다.

모자장수의 뒤를 따라 집까지 쫓아 온 원숭이들은 모자장수가 손을 흔들면 같이 따라서 손을 흔들고, 바나나껍질을 쓰레기통에 버리면 이를 흉내내서 땅바닥에 떨어진 바나나껍질을 주어서 쓰레기통에 버립니다. 모자장수가 모자를 팔러 나가면 그 뒤를 좇아가면서 왼발, 오른발 걸음걸이까지 흉내를 내네요.

시내에서 모자장수가 모자를 구입한 사람에게 고개를 숙여 고맙다고 인사하자 모자장수를 쫓아 온 원숭이들도 모두 따라서 인사를 했습니다. 이 신기하고 재미있는 광경을 본 사람들은 웃으면서 모자를 사기 시작했고, 결국 모자장수는 가지고 간 모자들을 완판할 수 있었습니다.

What is 페이퍼백? 표지가 두꺼운 판지나 보드지가 아닌 비교적 얇은 종이를 사용해서 만든 책이며, 실박음질 대신에 풀로 제본처리하는 경우가 많습니다. 일반적으로 하드커버나 보드북에 비해서 가격이 저렴합니다. 소프트커버로 불리우기도 합니다. 책의 이음새 부분이 접히거나 휘는 내구성이 그리 좋지는 않은 책입니다.

페이퍼백입니다.

Book Description
Celebrate the 75th anniversary of the perennial favorite Caps for Sale with this never-before-published 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.
More Caps for Sale is based on story ideas discussed by Slobodkina and Ann Marie Mulhearn Sayer throughout their years as friends and business associates prior to Esphyr's death in 2002. With simple text and illustrations, filled with warmth and humor, this sequel is perfect for early readers and follows a great folktale tradition.
Since Caps for Sale was first published in 1940, millions of children have savored the original tale of the peddler, his caps, and a band of very funny monkeys, and now this charming sequel continues the story!


School Library Journal
Published posthumously, this book is an obvious labor of love for Sayer, who worked
closely with Slobodkina for years. Using ideas and illustrations from the beloved author's works, Sayer constructed this sequel to the classic Caps for Sale, which closely mirrors the original, while continuing the story in a way that stays true to Slobodkina's voice and illustration style. She was one of the first illustrators to use abstract and collage art in children's books, and this new title is a celebration of her simplicity in line, color, and landscape. Children will delight in the monkeys' antics as they follow the peddler home. In this "monkey see, monkey do" tale, the monkeys and the peddler interact in various scenarios, each resulting in a mimicking of good behavior. The peddler spends most of his night and the next morning worried that he has not sold any hats. As he heads into town the next day, the monkeys follow him again, which favorably results in many hat sales for the peddler this time around. VERDICT This reimagining of the classic tale is a recommended purchase not only for the quality of the story but also because of the wonderful history of children's literature that is tied to it.


New York Times Book Review
“Rhythmic, repetitive, child-friendly storytelling. The story feels satisfyingly complete.”


Publishers Weekly
“How often does a sequel pick up exactly where its predecessor left off - seventy-five yars later? A worthy successor to Slobodkina’s original.”
