Humphrey the Egg-Splorer - by Nadia Ali (Hardcover)

About the Book

Humphrey has long known the cautionary tale of his grandfather, Humpty Dumpty. Being an egg means he can easily slip and crack at any time . . . but what does that mean for his dreams of becoming an egg-splorer and going on grand adventures? But the other eggs in Humphrey's dozen don't understand. After all, they want to be in a cake, or colored into a bright Easter egg, not go on dangerous journeys!
But Humphrey is determined, and he'll do whatever it takes to become a brave adventurer--even if that means putting himself through the fieriest trials to get there.
Inspired by the beloved nursery rhyme, author Nadia Ali and artist Valentí Gubianas deliver a rollicking story that expands the famous tale of a fragile egg to a new story about bravery, creativity, and forging your own path.
