Summary
[I bought this as part of a 3-pk of "Fractured Fairy Tales" from Scholastic. This one was the best of the three]
Humpty Dumpty has had his big fall and decides never to climb a wall again. He's lost his purpose and sits around watching TV in his underwear. His friends try to get him moving again and others tease him. But when Humpty sees one of the king's horses trapped on a high cliff, he'll have to decide if he can climb to the rescue after all.
Review
Funny and clever retelling of the classic rhyme. I am a fan of "fractured" or twists on the old, familiar tales. This one was a winner.
4 out of 5 stars
Recommended for: children under 8, library story times, classroom story times, example of fairy tales/fractured fairy tales
