What Really Happened to Humpty? (from the files of a hard-boiled detective) by Joe Dumpty as told to Jeanie Franz Ransom and illustrated by Stephen Axelsen is a combination twist on a nursery rhyme and great mystery/detective story. Detective Joe Dumpty is is on the case - the case of the fall of his brother Humpty Dumpty. (Insert ominous music.)
I loved this book! It puts all the classic nursery rhymes that I grew up with into one neighborhood and one story. Plus, through the miracle of modern medicine, Humpty is on the mend! The only question left unanswered is, "Who did it?"
Favorite line: Humpty Dumpty was pushed.
