This is delightful except for the part where the main character is headless and has a face on his torso. He looks like Humpty Dumpty, which could be cute, but somehow the effect is off-putting.

Nevertheless, yelling "Fixed it!" while you go around smashing things with a hammer is hilarious. ( )

David Shannon isn't a favorite of mine. I'll admit that. But children will find the story hilarious--oh what happens when you find a hammer ;) ( )

A straightforward enacting of the law of the instrument: "I suppose it is tempting, if the only tool you have is a hammer, to treat everything as if it were a nail."

It's almost humorous as Mr. Nogginbody runs around leaving devastation with a cry of "Fixed it!" (search Twitter for #fixed), but his appearance is just too ghastly. He looks like an egg with arms and legs, but the odd placement is more reminiscent of the headless men of myth, the Blemmyes, than Humpty Dumpty. Creepy! ( )

"When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail."
The kiddo took a real dislike to this one so we only read it together once. ( )
