This week’s Bashful Book Bee's “BEELOVED" FEATURE…

Who Pushed Humpty Dumpty? By David Levinthal and John Nickle

Who Pushed Humpty Dumpty is a fun book with a twist to several nursery tales.  The author inspires readers to imagine  if what we thought to be true of nursery rhymes, really had other extenuating circumstances which gives our tales a different ending.  Educators will find this a great follow book for nursery rhyme lessons.  The tale uses a funny frog named Binky as the chief investigating officer to solve the crimes involved in the nursery rhymes.  Educators will need to read this book several times before using in a lesson, otherwise the teacher may be laughing so much they won't be able to complete the lesson .
