Books with title Humpty Dumpty

Moe hollered, "Look, Mother, up on the wall!If that egg isn't careful, he's going to fall!"Humpty Dumpty is an egg on a mission--to get the best seat in the house for King Moe's birthday parade, no matter how high he has to climb.Timid King Moe also has a mission--to hide from the parade's jugglers, clowns and onlookers, or at least find a seatbelt in his coach.What will happen when the paths of these two opposites cross?"Kirk's singsong, rhyming text is infectious...but the main attraction is the rambunctious art that mixes stylized retro images with collage." --Booklist, for Trash Trucks

For hundreds of years, children have delighted in reciting the classic nursery rhyme of Humpty Dumpty’s fall. Over the centuries there have been many different interpretations, but some speculate that it was originally a riddle: “What could fall and break, but could not ever be repaired?” An egg is certainly one possible answer.Renowned artist Etienne Delessert considers instead the wall, and how walls can become a division between society’s “haves” and “have-nots.” In his haunting and beautiful rendition, Delessert tells the story of King Humpty Dumpty and his lavish paradise, raising questions about the walls we build between each other and the perils they pose, not only to those excluded, but often to the wall-builders themselves.
