Pezzo the Peddler and the Circus Elephant, written and illustrated by Esphyr Slobodkina. Published in 1967 by Abelard. Republished as Circus Caps for Sale in 2002 by HarperCollins.

The peddler wakes up bright and early, ready to begin his day and sell some caps. But everyone in town is missing. Where could they be? Then he realizes they must be at the county fair, and he rushes off to sell his caps to the crowd. Instead of selling, though, Pezzo finds himself caught in the middle of a circus on parade. And before he knows it, he and his caps are one of the star acts!
