Check out this cover! This richly illustrated, wordless, multicultural nursery rhyme has Humpty falling from the Great Wall of China. But don't worry, when he falls, he hatches! Royal purples, floral cloth, and rosy skies create a rich palette evoking the exotic world of China.

Little children will eat these books up (or at least try to!)

This book is part of the Indestructible series. Small (only 7") and square, the Indestructible books are the perfect size for little hands. And don't call these "board books," they're only about 1/16" thick! The pages are sewn together tightly, and according to Workman Publishing, they are chew proof, rip proof, noxtoxic, and 100% washable. Heck - you can even throw them in the dishwasher! As if that weren't enough (I'm beginning to sound like an infomercial here), they're beautiful.

This book was an Advance Reader Copy supplied by the publisher.
