This light hearted story is a continuation of the famous fairy tale of Humpty Dumpty. The author Dave Horowitz takes us through the rough life of post nursery rhyme life for Mr. Dumpty. I was not a big fan of the actual story because he just kind of threw other nursery rhymes into the story with little or no meaning attached. Although I did not enjoy the story, I did really love the illustrations. They had a individual quality to them that I have not seen in another story book before. I like how the illustrator Incorporated talking bubbles into the pictures. I had more fun looking through the book a few times then I did reading the actual book. It does give you a reminder of other books like The Real Story Of The Three Little Pigs and makes you really think about lessons you could do with your class in terms of writing stories based off of popular stories. I think that would be something kids could really have a lot of fun with.
