![]() These are mindful monkeys and soon they band together and decide to help the peddler. ![]() He is gone many days and the monkey’s wait in the tree, for his return. He follows Essie’s advice and unexpectantly, he has to leave town as one of his friends is sick. Guess who follows the peddler to Essie’s? Yes, the monkeys! Essie has some good advice but it’s not exactly what the peddler wanted to hear but nevertheless he returns home with the monkey’s trailing behind him. The peddler is going to visit his friend Essie as she will know what to do about the monkeys. There are sixteen monkeys now and they have been following the peddler for two days. ![]() ![]() Then, looking at the illustration, I see the smiling monkeys, the peddler with his mustache, and I know that one party wants to play and the other one has work to do. He shakes his finger at them, “You monkeys, you” and the monkeys only shake their fingers right back at him and reply, “Tsz, tsz, tsz!” Don’t you just love this? I smile every time I read this. They help the peddler tremendously and he realizes that they are not pesky monkeys but instead they are mindful monkeys. The monkey’s in this new novel remind me of the elves in the Shoemaker and the Elves. I think I love this new novel better than the original. If you loved Caps For Sale, you will love this new addition to the original. ![]()
