Great twist on Humpty Dumpty

Humpty Dumpty Climbs Again - Dave Horowitz

I absolutely love this book.  I read it to the fourth grade class I substituted in yesterday and they loved it. They laughed and I had everyone's attention as we read and talked about this story. They wanted to read it again immediately.  As it is the public library's book and I have to return it, I might have to buy a copy and carry it with me when I sub in other classrooms as I think other students will enjoy it also. Fun pictures and a great story line make this humorous story something you will remember.

Poor Humpty! We all know he got a bad rap when he fell down and no one could put him back together again but in this story we can thank the King's horse. The horse called the doctor and he was able to put Humpty back together. But, Humpty doesn't want to climb walls any more and well, Humpty isn't Humpty if he doesn't climb walls so he just sits around watching TV and people make fun of him (I do believe this is called bullying- which is a lesson in itself). He has visitors from other nursery rhymes but the poor guy just is not himself.  Everyone wants the old Humpty Dumpty back but can anything get him off his chair and away from the TV?
