Helpful in discussing people's different temperaments and fears with my children. The King Moe characters and Humpty Dumpty remind me of my kids. ( )

Kirk's version of the nursery rhymes. Humpty crawls upon a wall to watch the kings parade and falls down and breaks. The king who is a shy boy humptys age saves the day and puts humpty together again.Despite the fact that they come from separate backgrounds they become friends. ( )

SUMMARY- This book was about Humpty Dumpty and a very shy King, who was actually a child. It was the kings birthday and all Humpty Dumpty wanted to do was 'see' the birthday parade as it went by, so he climbed onto the wall , but then he fell off and was in pieces. And in the end it was the king who put him back together again.

PERSONAL REACTION-This book was not the one I read to my children as they were growing up. The book I read was more of a nursery rhyme book. This book actually had a story line to it.

EXTENSION IDEAS- Can use this as a life lesson on helping others. And also as a lesson in behavior and how to treat everyone and there feelings nicely.
