Humpty Dumpty Flip-Side Rhymes by Christopher Harbo

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



So I like the idea of looking at well-known stories from another character's perspective and this book intrigued me as something I may want to read to my children. I received the ebook version for free from Netgalley in exchange for an unbiased review so perhaps my review is slightly jaded by the fact I never got to hold a physical copy in my hands. With children's books, I think it is somewhat of a necessity to have the book in your hands. Swiping a page turn is not the same thing as holding the page in your hands and I think my 3-year-old appreciates the tactile sensation as well.

Overall I think the book was clever but not especially original. I enjoy rhyming books for children but this one has something lacking. I didn't enjoy it much and neither did my kids.
