(3) K-3 Colección Luz Verde series. Illustrated by Ariane Dewey & José Aruego. Humpty Dumpty thinks his animal pals are too small to help prevent his "great fall." However, the creatures prove that cooperation can overcome limitations. The text--one or two sentences per page printed in both English and Spanish--is pleasantly rhythmic and repetitive. Smiling animals reassuring a fearful Humpty will entertain young readers.

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Ariane Dewey & Jose Aruego. In a brief, simple tale, Humpty Dumpty cowers on top of his wall, afraid he might fall, until enough animal friends gather to help cushion his landing. Bright colors, winsome animal characters, and an especially goofy Humpty will entice new readers to reach the satisfactory conclusion. Use of rhyme and repetition is helpful.
