This one was absolutely ADORABLE!!!

As a homeschool parent I can absolutely see how this book would be so fun to incorporate when we are learning about the fall! It could easily be applied when we are talking about the leaves changing colors and why that happens every year. We could incorporate it when we talk about traditions and what they look like for different people.

This book would be a fun way to remember to enjoy the season you’re in by giving lots of great concrete ways to celebrate in the fall. (Apple picking, baking, apple cider, playing in the leaves, etc.)

I also love that this gave an alternate way to understand Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. So precious! Wonderful book and really delightful illustrations!

“Humpty’s Great Fall,” written by Amy Moore and illustrated by Josh Cleland, is a delightful and super cute take on the classic nursery rhyme. The story follows Humpty Dumpty as he realizes he’s forgotten something on a crisp autumn day while relaxing on his wall. As he journeys around the neighborhood, Humpty sees his friends enjoying the fall weather and starts to get clues about what he is missing. The vibrant illustrations capture the fun and warmth of the story and bring the tale to life. Overall, “Humpty’s Great Fall” offers a new twist on an old tale. 4.5 stars.

This picture book was hilariously cute and suspenseful Humpty Dumpty sits on his wall, and keeps remembering things he's supposed to be doing. It was so much fun watching his adventures with his nursery rhyme friends.
Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this..

Five stars. This author reimagined Humpty Dumpty in such a creative way. We meet Humpty, friends Jack and Jill, Little Miss Moffett, etc. And he has a great fall, but he doesn’t crack. The way the author integrates the other nursery rhyme characters and changes up the story works so well. Plus the illustrations are sublime. They are a perfect match to this fun fall book.

This is such a cute spin on Humpty! Fall is always such a good time of year. Time to be cozy, and have all the yummy treats. I loved how we got to see other fairytale friends throughout the book! The art was absolutely adorable and gave me the Fall vibes it was intended to give!

Humpty Dumpty has a great... autumn. He hops into the foliage, brews hot drinks, clothes in a warm scarf, pics apples and bakes pies to share. And he has great friends. They prevent him from taking a great fall and share their happiness and love with him

This book plays with the expectation of the reader and tells in passing how to have a good time with one's friends, not only, but definitly in autumn.

Have fun!

A beautifully illustrated book. I loved the ending. I appreciated the egg puns. I liked that he was industrious and sharing. The wording left me wanting. I received a complementary E copy all thoughts expressed are freely given.

I laughed out loud a few times while reading this book to my preschoolers. They absolutely loved it too and I really appreciated how the author took a fun spin on Humpty's tale., Throughout the book, you not only read about all the fun things that happen during the fall season, but you get to meet characters from different nursery rhymes. At the end they all come together to take care of Humpty and celebrate fall.

ARC review - Look at Humpty! What a cute children’s book! I feel like it was a great length with a lot of colorful images that really grab the eyes. Plus, reading through it really made me want to do all of the fall things with family and friends! Thanks NetGalley for the chance to read this ARC!

une petite histoire de randonnée sympathique, et les illustrations sont jolies. l'histoire en anglais est rythmée en cadence comme une chansonnette.

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.
