Editorial Review:

Product Description:
First, his hair started falling out. Then skin started peeling from his toes. Some stuffing came out of his belly button, and a piece of something gray and wet-his brain?-fell out of his nose. Is this normal? Or is this boy coming unglued? With a perfect combination of humor and grossness, this look at one boy's farfetched fears will have readers laughing their heads off!

"A zany, ultimately reassuring take on something that may indeed be a child's bugaboo." -Booklist

When I read this book to my boys they laugh and then wonder themselves why they have lint in their belly buttons or gray things falling out of their noses.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - The human body is gross...
Told from the perspective of a terrified five-year-old, Parts is the story of a boy discovering the wonders (and grossness) of the human body. When he notices his hair is falling out, fuzz is popping out of his belly button, and he's losing skin, he begins to panic, thinking the glue that holds his body together is failing and he's falling apart.

He imagines scenarios where his body finally fails altogether and he uses his father's masking tape to hold himself together. Probably the ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - from a Mom of 5 boys
This book could not be more perfect for little boys (heck, my middle and high school sons loved it, too)! They think it's absolutely hilarious! Warning: be prepared to read it over and over and over and...



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - An easy favorite
My son absoutely loves this book. It's very rhythmical and silly. He usually wants me to read it twice!
