Humpty Dumpty and Friends

Nursery Rhymes for the Young at Heart

COPY ISBN
PreS-Gr 2—This attractive picture book holds some old favorites such as "Rock-a-Bye, Baby," "What Are Little Boys Made of, Made of?" and "There Was an Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe" as well as some lesser-known, equally strong rhymes. The illustrations are done in a dark palette and are more sophisticated than those in typical nursery- rhyme books. Throughout, a page of rhyme and monochromatic spot art faces an intricate illustration. Children will enjoy the details in the artwork and trying to match them with details in the verses. This welcome offering will intrigue readers.—Joan Kindig, James Madison University, Harrisonburg, VA
