Very cute take on a classic story we all know.

Children will enjoy finding out what Humpty will do next. Perfect for kids who often get distracted as well! The ‘twist’ ending had a satisfying buildup. Great Fall book to read to a class.

The colourful illustrations give the perfect Fall vibes!

This story felt very random. It fell short for me, I think this book could be used in class when talking about seasons.

Thank you NetGalley & Amy for giving me the opportunity to read this Arc!

I've always loved Humpty Dumpty. This is a really cute book. Humpty is so adorable. The illustrator did an amazing job. I love how each time you thought Humpty was going to fall, he didn't. And in the end, he had a great fall but didn't fall lol. I think kids will love it! Thank you to Two Lions and NetGalley for the ARC. All opinions are my own.

Book Review: Humpty's Great Fall by Amy Moore

I recently recently had the pleasure of reviewing Humpty's Great Fall by Amy Moore, and it was a really delightful read. The story follows Humpty Dumpty one crisp autumn day as he lounges on his wall, only to suddenly realize he’s forgotten something important. As he wanders through his neighborhood, he encounters various friends from nursery rhymes, all soaking up the lovely fall weather. Through these encounters, Humpty starts piecing together what he might have overlooked — all before the potential of taking a tumble off his wall!

What really caught my eye first was the book’s cover — it’s absolutely charming and perfectly captures the cozy, colorful essence of fall. Inside, the illustrations continue to impress with their warm, inviting style that really complements the simple and sweet storyline. As someone who adores autumn, I found this book to be a perfect little celebration of the season. It’s straightforward but heartwarming, making it an ideal addition to any child’s seasonal library or a classroom collection.

Overall, Humpty's Great Fall earns four stars from me. It’s a delightful read that combines nostalgia with the joys of fall in a way that young readers will easily enjoy. If you’re looking for a gentle, charming story to share during autumn, this one definitely fits the bill!

Thanks so much to NetGalley for the free Kindle book. My review is voluntarily given, and my opinions are my own.

This is a great book combining the themes of autumn and nursery rhymes. The book shows not only the character of Humpty Dumpty but also others like little Miss Muffet and the spider. I love the illustrations so much.

Would definitely recommend this book to educators and parents!

3.75⭐️s rounded up for Goodreads.
This is a cute story and pseudo fall bucket list. Humpty's Great Fall visually embodies all the cozy autumn vibes, thanks to Josh Cleland's illustrations (5⭐️'s).
My only gripe... the story didn't rhyme which is basically a crime considering all of the nursery rhyme characters throughout.
Thanks to NetGalley and Two Lions for the eARC!

I loved all of the colors in this book and the cool spin on the humpty dumpty nursing rhyme. I also liked that it brought in other nursing rhyme characters.

What a cute version of Humpty Dumpty!! I really enjoyed this story and that Humpty really did have a great Fall. All the side characters that made an appearance were really cute. This is a silly story and a fun little time.

This was an absolute delight of a book. We had so much fun reading this and giggling over Humpty getting distracted by everything he thought he was supposed to do. My kids were shouting at him to not fall asleep on the wall! The story it's self was whimsical and the perfect setting for fall. The illustrations were so bright and vibrant and cozy! I will be on the look out on pub day to add this to our fall rotation!

I love a good play on words, and fall is my favorite season, so I was primed to adore this book.
Reader: Adore it I did.

The story was cozy--describing all the various ways Humpty enjoyed his fall season along with his storybook friends.

Admittedly, I felt a little lost whenever the story would return to Humpty sitting on a wall, seemingly about to fall (and he did so rather frequently), as it broke up the rhythm of the story. That being said, I could see what the author chose this narrative choice, as it would leave readers --probably parents--already familiar with the story wonder if/when Humpty might fall (and what could happen to him!).

Humpty's Great Fall will be published August 5, 2025.

Thank you to NetGalley, Two Lions, Amy Moore (author), and Josh Cleland (illustrator) for this free, advance copy in exchange for an honest review.

Adorable! Absolutely adorable! The illustrations were done so well. This story of Humpty Dumpty is about all the things he has to do before his fall. It’s very entertaining and short. It’s for all kids learning to read a bit more. I loved how this story had other nursery rhyme characters. It is even funny that every time the nursery rhyme begins, it is interrupted by something important Humpty has to do first.

Kids will absolutely love this especially for fall!

Thank you to the author, the publisher, and NetGalley for this e-ARC

Humpty’s Great Fall is the perfect twist on the classic nursery rhyme, Humpty Dumpty! Humpty’s Great Fall is full of rhyming words and vibrant pictures. This story is a great way to teach about all sorts of nursery rhymes and fun things to do during the fall season. Very very good.

This book was a fun read!

The things that I loved:
-The structure gives “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie” vibes. The ever-so-slightly chaotic shift from one thing to the next is endearing.
-The callback to other nursery rhymes throughout the book. As my kids and I read it, we were able to recall those other rhymes, which was a great memory exercise.
-The illustrations are beautiful and there are so many things in the background of each picture that my kids were excited to point out (including some characters from additional nursery rhymes/children’s stories that my kids love!).
-There are some vocabulary words that my kids did not know and we were able to talk about what those words mean.

Overall, my kids and I enjoyed this book!

A twist on the Humpty Dumpty storyline focused on the season "fall" and not the act of falling. This would be a great addition to a fairy tales or fractured fairy tale unit, fall books, and predicting what may happen next. For grades K-3
