What REALLY Happened to Humpty?

What REALLY Happened to Humpty? by Jeanie Franz Ransom, illustrated by Stephen Axelsen is geared for children ages 6 to 9. This book is written in the perspective of Joe Dumpty, Humpty Dumpty's brother. Through the story Joe is trying to prove that Humpty Dumpty falling off the wall was no accident, that it was a crime. I though this book was really good in the text as well as the illustrations. They were very detailed and helped tell the story. The story does a great job putting other characters within the story for example, the three little pigs, Jack and Jill, Mother Goose, Chicken Little, Goldoe Lox, Miss Muffet, Little Red Ridinghood, just to name a few. I thought this story was very detailed and fun and enjoyable to read! I think that a teacher could read this in the classroom of any grade and the students would enjoy it greatly! This book would help in explaining detail to character, storyline, illustrations, and many other cases.
