In this wonderful children's tale, the peddler wakes up bright & early, ready to begin his day & sell some caps. But everyone in town is missing -- where could they be? Then he realizes they must be at the county fair, & he rushes off to sell his caps to the crowd. Instead of selling, though, he finds himself caught in the middle of a circus on parade. And before he knows it, he & his caps are one of the star acts! Esphyr Slobodkina's classic artwork & timeless story are as endearing as ever in this new, refreshed edition. Come to the circus, one & all -- but don't forget those caps are for sale! Originally published as Pezzo the Peddler & the Circus Elephant,Ó in 1967.
