Goodreads Summary:
From the New York Times–bestselling and award-winning author and illustrator of Beekle: The Unimaginary Friend comes the inspiring epilogue to the beloved classic nursery rhyme Humpty Dumpty.
Everyone knows that when Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. But what happened after?
Caldecott Medalist Dan Santat's poignant tale follows Humpty Dumpty, an avid bird watcher whose favorite place to be is high up on the city wall―that is, until after his famous fall. Now terrified of heights, Humpty can longer do many of the things he loves most.
Will he summon the courage to face his fear?
After the Fall (How Humpty Dumpty Got Back Up Again) is a masterful picture book that will remind readers of all ages that Life begins when you get back up.
Local Reviews:
Gabriel, Walnut Creek sixth: grade I do not like this book. I think it should not win the Caldecott Award.
Kaylee, Walnut Creek fifth grade: I like this book because it adds to the story of Humpty Dumpty who fell off the wall. I think the ending is a surprise to all the other stories.
Javin, Berlin fifth grade: This is the worst book ever. It is a terrible, horrible nightmare.
Isaac, Walnut Creek fourth grade: I think this book has a good story but the illustrations are bad. This is different than the original. Out of 5 stars I would rate it 3 stars.
