About This Book

Humpty Dumpty isn’t just an egg who took a big fall—he’s also the star of two stories in one book! One side tells the classic rhyme, and flip it over to discover a topsy-turvy version that starts from the end and turns the tale upside down. It’s a fun way to see how stories can change just by looking at them differently.
