Even More Parts: Idioms from Head to Toe

Rating:
Summary: All Eyes on this Mind-bending book!
Review: 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.
