But he stillyearns for the skies, and Santat employs a variety of striking perspectives to help readersappreciate the enormity of Humpty's isolation and distance from his goal. Determined not to giveup his favorite hobby, Humpty builds a model planeâ€”Santat milks the humor of the frustrated,fastidious egg during a design sequenceâ€”that soars across the sky. When another, lesseraccident occurs, Humpty must conquer his nerves or give up on flying. Santat's straightforwardlanguage throughout acknowledges the gravity of Humpty's fears without edging into melodrama;the short, declarative sentences that mark his anxious climb back onto the wall are rousing in theirsimplicity. (The backlit egg's triumphant posture doubles down on the text.) Many readers mighthave considered the ascent an adequate end, but Santat indulges in one more high note when thereformed shell cracks anew and releases an exultant bird. VERDICT Santat's precise illustrationsand sensitive text combine for more emotional depth than the typical nursery rhyme remix. Aterrific redemptive read-aloud for storytime and classroom sharing.â€”Robbin E.
