Caps for Sale: A Tale of a Peddler, Some Monkeys and Their Monkey Business is a children's picture book, written and illustrated by Esphyr Slobodkina and published by W. R. Scott in 1940. Kindergarten was all about the money business as they tried to stack “caps” on their heads. They even tried to stack on Mrs. McCorvy.

If you have never used Novel Effects App, it’s a game changer. “Click, Clack Moo Cows That Type” truly came to life with sound effects as Mrs. McCorvy read the story. Students “typed” their names and waddled their way out of library.

I love sharing new books with students! These treasures from TLA are too go to wait. 2nd and 3rd grade had an opportunity to scan these treasures from the TLA conference.
