Not what you're expecting
Customer Rating: 
Well, let me start by saying that the little Board Book is adorable, and the illustrations are artsy and well-done. The problem I had with this book is that it's title: Humpty Dumpty and Other Nursery Rhymes, gave me the impression that I would be receiving a book that contained the character of Humpty Dumpty. The nursery rhyme is included, but the illustration is of a small rodent, and in the background, if you look for a bit, there is an inanimate egg on a shelf in one of those little egg cups like you might get at a bed and breakfast. It has no face, no clothes, no personality, no king's horses, no kings men, and no wall for crying out loud. Im living abroad, where English books are hard to find, and therefore must shop online. So, I had purchased the book as a gift for a neighbor, who has a Humpty Dumpty stuffed animal and wanted to find a copy of the book to share the story with her granddaughter. Unfortunately, what arrived has no reference to the character of Humpty Dumpty, and so doesn't really serve any purpose. Were it any of the "other" nursery rhymes so liberally interpreted, I wouldn't complain, but the title should be what was promised. Amazon offers a Look Inside, but it doesn't show the title rhyme, either, so there was no way to tell that this Humnpty Dumpty book had no humpty dumpty character. If you dont care about what characters or images come in your book, buy this one, it's awfully cute, as I said. But, if you are looking for the title character, he is nowhere to be found within.
