Customer Reviews

Even More Parts

After purchasing Parts and More Parts for my kindergarten class, I just knew Even More Parts would be an excellent addition to our classroom library. It turned out even better than expected. The kids got a kick out of the funny things kids thought and agreed that sometimes they had similar worries. What a great book!

Excellent Book, Very Funny!

This book is an extremely clever look at all of the common phrases adults use about bodies, but which are undoubtedly quite confusing and funny to children. My son read it to me in the car and I was laughing so hard, I was crying! A real delight to read.

My kids absolutely love these books

My children now have all 3 in the 'parts' books and still have us read them regularly. My children are 4 and 3 and can't get enough of these books. This latest book, Even More Parts, goes in a slighly different direction and does not have the same nice flow as the previous two books but it is still cute and worth having. If you haven't read or own 'Parts' or 'Even More Parts', I would recommend that you get either of these before purchasing this book. If you do own either of these other ones, then I highly recommend you add this to your collection.

Fun with figuratively not literally !!!

This book is a must for any child that has difficulties with language pragmatics. My very bright four year old son has such issues and we use this as an entertaining way to teach him that not all words should be taken literally. It has helped him immensely and he really enjoys it. We also have the other 2 books but this is my personal favorite.Thanks!!

All Eyes on this Mind-bending book!

The 3rd book in his wildly funny series on body parts idioms, Even More Parts shows this author has never lost his ability to see things from the child's perspective, even if is macabre and a bit weird! The scene opens with our protagonist writing a "list of all the scary things" he's heard. This list is what the bulk of the book is constructed around: idioms on body parts, illustrated with crazy interpretations of them. For example, "I want all eyes on me" shows a teacher being pelleted with her classes' eyeballs. In the bottom margin of the pages are even more crazy interpretations of common idioms, in miniature. Altogether, this is a hysterically funny book, and is a great read-aloud for younger elementary classrooms and an engaging read-alone for older children. This might also be used for to stimulate student creativity in upper elementary and lower middle school art/anatomy/literature projects and is a wonderful introduction for kids on what idioms are.
