I received a free ARC from Capstone Young Readers through NetGalley
5 stars
One tale is the original Humpty Dumpty. The other tale, the flip-side, is from the King's Men. It's the flip-side that really gets you!
*Spoiler alert* the King's Men end by eating "eggs freshly scrambled." I giggled, said out loud "Oh my gosh!" and sat there kind of in shock. Where did that come from?
This is a good story for teaching point of view. Younger kids will think it's cute. Older kids will probably think it's hilarious, like I did.
The illustrations are beautiful. They are hip. The colors are muted, in a good way. They just add to the charm of this one.
