Thank you to the publisher and to NetGalley for the eARC! The title had me cracking up- I think adults will appreciate the humor! Defintely a cute book to add to your fall books collection. The illustrations are so cute and eye catching. A very cute spin on the nursery rhyme Humpty Dumpty.
Super cute book. My son and I enjoyed reading this one together. I highly recommend to other parents. I hope that others will enjoy it as well, like we did.
I can just picture my students calling out the predicted ending that has been set several times through the story. It will sure to be a hit!!
I appreciated the scattered puns and woven in familiar fairy tale characters like, Miss Muffet, Jack & Jill. Those may be lost on younger students but keeps it interesting for the reader/parent which is always appreciated!
Love the end- and the fun play on words!
Would recommend!
A fun letter of praise to autumn, starring an eggy Humpty Dumpty who just won't get his mind round to falling off a wall, and so makes friends, harvests apples, bakes treats for a party, and so on instead. Good job he also stooks up all the leaves that had fallen from the trees, just in case he does actually manage to have a sudden moment of rapid descent. It's silly, it's pretty well done, visually, and it nicely borrows characters from kindergarten rhymes and stories – it's perfectly inoffensive stuff. Unless you're British, of course, when witnessing Humpty rolling around the streets with a jug of cider in his hand will give entirely a different impression...
This book is so precious! I would highly recommend and I will be buying for my child as soon as it’s in stores!
Very cute! I do think this book would only work for kids that have a solid grasp on the traditional nursery rhymes, which, for better or worse, is not every kid. I wouldn't use this book in a classroom, for example, because not every kid will be "in" on what's going on. I do think it's a clever play on the original story, and the kids who get it will love it. I would've loved if it was a little bit more clever with the subversion, maybe using only words that start with F or something similar. "Humpty Dumpty had a great F.... Fish! His favorite pet. He had a great F..... Feast! With all of his friends!" The "had a great... big yawn" was cute but I felt like the other fake outs were a little bit lazy.
This was an adorable take on Humpty Dumpty with great Fall vibes. We really enjoyed this story, with Humpty doing all the fall things with his friends. The illustrations are wonderful and engaging.
Humpty has forgotten to do something and while trying to remember he see all the signs of a beautiful Fall season.
Children will love this story and his nursery rhyme friends.
This is a fun and adorable retelling of Humpty Dumpty! Instead of falling and breaking, he enjoys the autumn season with his friends and experiences a different type of great fall.
Humpty’s Great Fall will be great to teach alone, as an extension of the fairy tale, or as part of a Fall themed unit. I love the use of larger vocabulary which supports what we are learning about the science of reading. This book is appropriate for all elementary ages primary and elementary.
I received a copy of this eBook from netGalley for a honest review.
Humpty has a great fall season- enjoying all it has to offer. What a great play on words!
Humpty's Great Fall was a hilariously engaging read featuring a well-known character. This book is perfect for the fall season, with its cozy feel and Humpty Dumpty making cider and baking apple treats for all of his friends! The illustrations are bright and eye-catching, and the vocabulary is age appropriate, making Humpty's Great Fall a great read for young children!
Humpty's Great Fall is an adorable fall-themed twist on a classic nursery rhyme. Humpty Dumpty enjoys a variety of fall activities joined by many other well-known nursery rhyme characters. It is a great read-aloud for pre-k to 1st grade and would make a fantastic addition to any early childhood library for fall. Wax
This book was so so so cute. I absolutely loved it. I love that its such a cute spin on Humpty Dumpty! Can't wait to read it to the kiddos in the library.
This was a really great retelling of the classic — Humpty Dumpty. In this book, Humpty Dumpty is having a great Fall 🍁🍂. This was a great twist on the original story, and I will definitely buy a copy for my son when it is officially released!
Thank you to Amy Moore, Two Lions & NetGalley for this ARC!
You may think you know about Humpty's Great Fall... but you won't until you read this sweet story of all the things Humpty enjoys in the fall. The illustrations are fun & kids will wait impatiently for the "Humpty Dumpty had a great fall" line.
Beautiful Colours and Illustrations! Great to follow along, My kids got excited to recognise the nursery rhyme friends and laughed at the fact that Humpty Dumpty had other things to do other than fall.
A beautiful story for any time of the year! I'm looking forward to Humpty Dumpties Winter Adventures!
This was a super cute play on words where Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. Follow along as Humpty Dumpty goes on all sort of adventures during his favorite season. I enjoyed the illustrations they portrayed the story well and were cute to look at.
Well written and well illustrated book about not just Humpty but the whole batch of fairy tale characters. The title of the book encompasses a play on words, but you'll have to read the book. The text and pictures are very engaging and it is a fun read for the young at heart. I enjoyed it. And I'm 72!
A classic story of Humpty Dumpty mixed with the best season ever, fall? A wonderful book that all children will enjoy!
