Parts
Arnold, Tedd 5 3 F
Scholastic Inc., 1999
A young boy wonders what’s happening to his body when he notices such things as pieces of hair in his comb, bits
of skin peeling off his toes and a loose tooth. Does this mean that the glue that holds his parts together isn’t working
anymore?! This picture book cleverly explains that these and other bodily occurrences are normal. Colorful, exaggerated
illustrations and witty text are combined to produce an amusing story that addresses some typical childhood fears.
