Humpty's Great Fall by Amy Moore was a charming read, My kids loved that some other beloved nursery rhymes' characters also appeared in the book. The art is also wonderful, a very nice addition for the fall book rotation in your child's library.

I read this to my 4 yo and he really enjoyed it. He caught on quickly to the pattern and loved yelling "fall". The pictures were well done. I would definitely read this again, it was a fun twist on the well known rhyme.

This was really cute! I loved the repetitive anticipation of "Humpty Dumpty Had a Great..." It's very colorful and cozy, and would be a great read aloud. Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for letting me read

5/5 Stars! Thanks NetGalley and Two Lions for this eARC of Humpty's Great Fall by Amy Moore.

Super adorable book and beautiful illustrations. My son is currently in the nursery rhyme stage and has been singing this for a while. My Youngest LOVED this story and was involved when I read this story before bed. It's in the fall weather and I love how there were activities throughout the book to keep my kiddo entertained.

I will def need to grab this when it gets published this year!

Super, super cute! I cannot wait to share this with my four year old. She will absolutely love it!

The illustrations are so well done, and I just love this take on the classic nursery rhyme. I can see this one being a very popular book with children. I work in a library, and we would definitely recommend this one to parents of littles.

This is a really cute take on the Humpty Dumpty rhyme. It is Fall and there are lots of things to do. All the while he keeps thinking he forgot something. Through the activities of Fall he gets clues. The illustrations are really pleasing and will delight younger children.

A clever retelling of Humpty Dumpty and not the usual traditional nursery rhyme we’ve come to know and love. I enjoyed this take on Humpty Dumpty and thought the story was entertaining. I liked the addition of other nursery rhymes/characters included within the book. The illustrations were drawn beautifully & I appreciated that the characters had a range of expressions. There was good use of colour and I think that the images would be popular with children. Being a teacher, I would also use this book in my classroom, especially as it’s a fun little play on nursery rhymes and I think that it would pique their interest.

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.

This was super adorable and both myself and my 2.5 yo really liked it, and we especially enjoyed all of the references to other nursery rhymes. The illustrations were fun and interesting for the younger kids since there was a lot going on to talk about- this is most ideal for ages 2-4 I’d say! Very cute though and definitely worth adding to your shelf!

"Humpty's Great Fall" is a delightful children's book that reimagines the classic tale of Humpty Dumpty. In this story, Humpty sits on a wall and has a great fall, just like in the nursery rhyme, but this book adds a fun twist on the traditional story and includes other beloved nursery rhyme characters. Perfect fall read.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Humpty Dumpty sure did have a great fall! What a cute turn from the original nursery rhyme. Spend some time with Humpty making his way through autumn. I loved the interruptions of the actual fall. Super adorable. Loved the illustration style as well.

Honestly I thought this book was a hit too wordy to be a book a parent would read a child at bedtime.

We have absolutely fallen in love with this book - it’s wonderful!!

Cosy, cleverly written and funny, this celebration of the autumn season is cosy, colourful and so sweet. Full of silver linings, friendship and the joys of the chillier months, with gorgeous illustrations and sheep in scarves (a great point of hilarity for the kids!)

It’s just downright cute - would highly recommend!

A new twist is added to the famous nursery rhyme Humpty Dumpty in Amy Moore's Humpty's Great Fall. Including characters from fairy tales such as Bo Peep, Little Miss Muffet, The Cat and the Fiddle, and Jack and Jill in a play on words. As children read the book, they will hear and see the all-too-familiar words,

“…Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
Humpty Dumpty had a great…”



It's beautifully illustrated, with lots of autumn colors, and the characters set the mood for a cozy autumn day. Colorful and captivating, Cleland's illustrations capture the reader's attention. Both the words and the pictures will keep children entertained as they follow Humpty's day. In addition to sitting on a wall, Humpty Dumpty has many adventures with his fairy tale friends.

Thank you to NetGalley and Two Lions for my advanced copy to read and review.

This retelling of Humpty Dumpty's tale is effective both visually and aesthetically. Its inclusion of additional nursery rhyme characters was fantastic. However, the intended age group may find the storytelling a little disconnected and the transitions between pages a bit confusing.

Josh Cleland's stunning and colorful illustrations are what really make this book stand out. Overall, these incredibly charming illustrations perfectly convey the colorful fall theme.

Humpty's Great Fall missed the mark for my 4 year old son and I. The illustrations were cute, but the story line seemed very random and disorganized. I understand the lightheartedness the author was targeting with Humpty suddenly remembering additional tasks, but the execution didn't seem to flow the best. We loved the parts that rhymed and it added a fun cadence to the reading, but it didn't last throughout the book. After teasing Humpty's fall so many times, my son actually laughed out loud at the very end.

This was really cute and I loved how it incorporated all the little nursery rhymes into the story as well! It definitely made me miss the autumn season and I think it is the perfect children’s story to keep them guessing on what may come next in the story. It’s engaging and fun and most important of all it’s silly which makes it perfect reading material for children to enjoy!
