Follow this beloved childhood nursery rhyme character through adventure after adventure as he tries, in vain, to keep himself together! Fans of Kin Eagle's previous extended nursery rhymes (It's Raining, It's Pouring, Rub a Dub Dub, and Hey, Diddle Diddle), will again delight in this funfilled tale. The hardcover has an acetate jacket, and spot varnish on the inside pages for a shiny effect which kids love!
From Children's Literature: "In traditional nursery rhyme fashion, Humpty falls off his wall—and has other adventures which are not totally successful. However, in the end, Humpty D. gets to snuggle with the person he loves best. Eagle has "extended" this familiar old story as he did previously with the three men in the tub and the cat and the fiddle. (Mental double-takes are par for the course when, for example, you see Humpty in the moat with a bunch of crocs and gators. Did that happen in the original?) The sing-song quality of the prose and soothing pastel illustrations give warmth to the story and encourage snuggling all around. Music and words for the rhyme are included". Reviewer: Chris Gill
