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.
