Description
Remember, Humphrey; never run, never jump, and NEVER. EVER. sit on a wall!
This middle-grade graphic novel tells the story of Humphrey - an egg with very overprotective parents; "Never run, never jump and NEVER EVER EVER sit on a wall. You remember what happened to your uncle..."
Humphrey lives a cautious life, until the day he bumps into Princess Jean (PJ) in the park. An adventurer through and through, PJ regales Humphrey with tales of all her antics and mishaps and they don't notice the park is closing. Oh no! How will Humphrey get home? There's only one way out. Over. The. Wall!
The Egg Incident is a joyous reversal of the traditional Humpty Dumpty tale of caution that will delight readers aged 7-11 who are tiptoeing towards independence themselves.
Remember, Humphrey; never run, never jump, and NEVER. EVER. sit on a wall!
