along many roads they bumped

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall;
All the King's horses and all the King's men,
Couldn't put Humpty together again.


Do australiano Bob Graham, a história de Dimity Dumpty, a irmã mais nova do famoso Humpty. Uma história que li esta noite e que gostei de encontrar na lista dos 2008 Notable Children's Books. 

Up above the circus ground,
she blew into her silver flute -
soft as a snail on a cabbage leaf,
quiet as the grass growing on the hill,
gentle as a beetle's breath,
making sounds known only to birds
and things that slide in the night.
(...)
The music slips under doorways,
through skylights and windows,
as surely and pleasantly
as the smell of hot chocolate.

mommy I want to get that house!
