Taking on the old song "Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall", this delightful picture book shows how Humpty has a great autumn! From cider to raking leaves with friends little ones will enjoy seeing Humpty do all these activities while parents will giggle at how the author uses the song to move the story along.
This adorable book knows how to keep the kids hanging. Starting the first two lines of the well known nursery rhyme, but then changing to finish a task not yet completed. My daughter (5) started to ask if he was really going to fall this time. She enjoyed seeing fall things that are starting to become family traditions. Her brother (2) was interested in the pictures and listened for a bit, but he wanted to turn the pages faster than I could read. This is a fun twist on the nursery rhyme that is great for getting in the mood for fall and all the fun things that season has to offer. We read this e-book through NetGalley.
Thank you for granting me access to this ARC!
This is an adorable story of Humpty Dumpty having quite literally a great fall. I enjoyed following him through all the fall traditions and the incorporation of other nursery rhyme characters. I wish the rhyming or non-rhyming would have stayed consistent throughout the whole book. It was fun to have rhyming and then it would just stop and then pick up again.
Beautiful illustrations!
Cute story about Humpty and his "fall". Nice addition to seasonal storyline, and we get visits from other nursery rhyme characters. Humpty completes a lot of fun fall activities like apple picking,drinking cider, and raking leaves. Keeps all the kiddos on the edge of their seats waiting for that "great fall"!
Thank you for the ARC. This was a cute book. I kept waiting for the fall which eventually did come but it was cute to see humor doing other things besides falling. The illustrations were great. There were some cute rhymes at times.
Humpty had a great fall indeed! This is an adorable book with sweet illustrations. Children and adults alike will enjoy following Humpty and his friends on his Autumn adventures.
This is an extremely cute spin off book about Humpty Dumpty and everything he does in Fall. This would be a great book to read to students or children at the start of Fall to show them all the of the things you can do. The story even brings in other fairy tale characters such as Bo-Peep and Miss Muffet. The illustrations are very eye catching and bring the story to life. I will be purchasing a hard copy of this book.
Thank you to NetGalley and Two Lions for the advanced reader copy in exchange for an honest review.
This book made me **giggle**. Humpty Dumpty reminds of....well, me. Humpty Dumpty might have ADHD. Humpty Dumpty had a great Fall!! Beautifully illustrated, with lots of fall colors, and characters set the tone of cozy autumn day. It's fast paced, and fun.
This was a perfect children’s story for the fall. The illustrations are beautiful. The story was a little confusing at the beginning but soon made sense. It might have had to do with reading it digitally.
Thank you Two Lions and NetGalley for the digital ARC.
This is such a cute take on the Humpty Dumpty! It includes characters from other fairy tales as well. The illustrations are colorful and detailed. A great autumn book for kids.
This was SOOO cute omg and clever!!! I love how it’s tied to a lot of other children’s stories. And I love all the fall activities being called out! Absolutely adorable.
Thank you for this lovely copy!
The design and colors of this book are some of the cutest around.
Humpty is having such an interesting autumn and we are all around for the ride with him.
This is such a fun twist of the traditional Humpty Dumpty nursery rhyme. I love the inclusion of all of the quintessential fall traditions, like apple cider, jumping in leaves and apple picking. The reoccurring return to the beginning of the rhyme every couple of pages, before Humpty gets distracted, is wonderful at keeping the audience in suspense.
Thank you to Two Lions Publishing and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book for my students. This is a cute twist on the Humpty Dumpty plot. Honestly, I enjoyed it but I don’t think my students will due to its complexity. 4 out of 5 stars
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the advanced copy
I thought this was a delightful book with charming illustrations. If I had a child, I would definitely buy them this book.
What an adorable take on the classic Humpty tale! Humpty sure did have a great Fall (season!) I was smiling the entire time that I was reading this book. It brought memories back of when I was a child and reading these tales and fairy tales. I loved the addition of other characters such as Jack and Jill, Miss Muffet, and Bo Peep. Also, the illustrations are perfect. I will definitely be buying a copy to had to my toddler's fall collection books and will recommend to other teaching colleagues. Thank you for the advanced copy!
Humpty’s Great Fall is the perfect book to get you and your kids in the mood to have a great fall… er, autumn! There are so many fun fall activities packed into this story and fun character friends to enjoy them with. The illustrations are perfect, the style and the colors make you feel like you are smelling the crisp fall air and having that cozy feeling that only fall can bring. This is a picture book to enjoy at the start of fall year after year as your family makes their autumn bucket list!

This was SUCH A CUTE CONCEPT! I loved all of the appearances by other nursery rhyme characters. Such a great kid's book!
This is a fun story with terrific illustrations! Kids might know the nursery rhyme, but this version includes another meaning of one of the words in the famous rhyme. Finishing the rhyme creates anticipation throughout the book. Very cute!
I received a complimentary copy from the publisher and all opinions expressed are mine.
What i was expecting and what i got was so different . The book follows the iconic Humpty Dumpty but before the fall. It tells the story of what he did and who he met before his great fall. Liked the premise and the illustrations but wasn't that fully engaged to the story .
