Kids won' t be able to keep a straight face as they enjoy this clever, wacky, boldly illustrated book.

A hilarious sequel to the wildly popular 'Parts' and 'More Parts.' Arnold' s funniest book yet reintroduces the nervous hero from 'Parts' and 'More Parts' while also depicting more than 100 body-part idioms. This time he' s made a list of all the strange, crazy things he' s heard people say: 'I lost my head.' 'My nose is running.' 'I sang my heart out.' It' s scary stuff, but he has a plan for making sure he doesn' t accidentally leave any of his parts behind. Chip Block, the hero of Parts, is back, and still worried about falling apart based on the things he hears. 'About this title' may belong to another edition of this title.īook Description Paperback.

Even libraries without the first two titles will find this a fun choice for sharing aloud and for tempting independent readers. Arnold's art manages to keep the gross-out factor reasonable while producing plenty of laughs. The rhyming, which has always been a weak point in the books, is kept to a minimum while the chaos is kept at the previous high level. Created with colored pencils and watercolor washes, the bright, manic artwork features pop-eyed characters drawn with a loose, squiggly line. Along the bottom of the page, his toys illustrate additional figures of speech ('It makes my head spin,' 'I laughed my head off,' 'My head is in the clouds'). For example, for 'I lost my head,' the headless youngster wanders around with arms outstretched looking for his missing body part, which is partially concealed behind a chair. Each page features a phrase that includes an idiom, along with a humorous illustration of the child literally living up to that particular expression.
