My latest book, “What Really Happened to Humpty?,” was one of five picture books reviewed in an article about holiday gift books in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch (Dec. 13, 2009). The list included the newest sequel in the popular “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” series, so Humpty was definitely in good company.
No word whether or not the book had Santa’s approval, but I imagine that the Big Bad Wolf got a lump of coal in his stocking this Christmas.
Here’s the review:
‘What Really Happened to Humpty?’
By Jeanie Franz Ransom (Charlesbridge, 32 page, $15.95)
Joe Dumpty is as hard-boiled as they come, and he’s just the egg to prove that his brother’s fall was no accident. Younger readers will focus on the mystery and the offbeat take on nursery rhyme characters, while older readers will make a game out of finding the many puns in this story by St. Louis author Ransom.
