A doctor patches Humpty up, cautioning him to be more careful. He gives up rock-climbing but gets the blues just sitting around. Eventually, he's enticed to climb once again. This tongue-in-cheek treatment features characters from other nursery rhymes that children will recognize with delight. The silly fun of the text is aptly echoed in the cartoony drawings.
