A silly story about a cap peddler who takes a nap under a tree and while he is sleeping, monkeys steal his caps. His tantrums are unsuccessful in getting his caps returned but his final action of removing his last cap from his head and throwing it on the ground causes the monkeys to copy his action and all the caps are returned. Interesting patterned illustrations add spice to this story that will hopefully show children that tantrums may not always be the best solution.
