Dr. Moore's "Humpty, Dumpty, Dumpty" book featured in The Charlotte Observer

In the May 28, 2002 issue of The Charlotte Observer, Pam Kelly writes about"Humpty, Dumpty, Dumpty," the new book by Dr. Thomas Moore and Pam Schiller:

Notice anything familiar about the guy standing beside Humpty Dumpty? If you've lived in Charlotte a while, you may recognize early-childhood educator and musician Thomas Moore.

In 1986, Moore wrote a song based on the Humpty Dumpty nursery rhyme, but he gave his tune, "Humpty Dumpty Dumpty," a happier ending. In his version, Moore himself gets some glue, picks up the pieces and makes Humpty as good as new.

Now, the song has become a book that's part of an SRA McGraw-Hill early-childhood curriculum. Written by Moore and Pam Schiller, the book includes illustrations of Moore patching up Humpty and then dancing with children and adults to the song's chorus: "Everybody likes to Humpty Dumpty Dumpty."
