A treasure trove of nursery rhymes receives a wild visual treatment in Oleg Lipchenko’s Humpty Dumpty and Friends. Familiar favorites (“Tweedle-dum and Tweedle-dee”, “Rock-a-bye, baby”, “There was a crooked man”, and “The lion and the unicorn”) interspersed with more obscure verses (“Four and Twenty tailors”, “A little pig found a fifty-dollar note”, “Robin the Bobbin”, and “Fishes swim in water clear”) are paired with a raft of cheerily cluttered illustrations replete with rich colors, soft textures, and an appropriately madcap aesthetic. #poem #poems #poetry #verse #book #books #childrensbooks #beautifulbook #beautifulbooks #beautifulbookcover #beautifulbookcovers #picturebook #picturebooks #picturebookillustration #picturebookillustrations #picturebookart #childrensbookillustration #childrensliterature #illustration #kidlit #kidsbooks #bookworm #booklover #booklovers #bibliophile #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookstagrammers #instabook #instabooks
