This book is a silly tale about body parts using figurative language. You could use this book to teach idioms to 3rd graders by reading it and then having them come up with idioms of their own. ( )

My favorite book is parts parts and more parts.Once I read it and it was so funny I got a stumich ake. I give it five stars.Once the teacher said I want all eyes on me and Instead of all the kids looking at her they took they're eyes out of they're head. I think parts parts and more parts one reason why is its apsolootly funny.the last reason why is because it tells me what body parts are in my body. That is why I think parts parts and more parts is the best book ever.you should make sure to not laugh to much that you fall off the couch or fall back words. You can go to enh book store I think. To get parts Arts and more parts. You can read it any where! And easing you could read it any time. It is for two and up. If you don't like laughing but do you like school and good this place takes place in school. ( )

You could use this book in second grade to teach figurative language. You could have them think of their own idioms involving body parts to share with the class. It has so many good examples that students could get really creative with it and it would be funny to hear their idioms.

This book involves the description of body parts using idioms. The boy in the book makes a list of things that he should protect himself from at school. The book includes many pictures of the boy's body parts in weird positions. For example, the teacher at the boys school says "All eyes on me" so there is a picture of the boy's eye balls by themselves being aimed towards the teacher.

The sequel of sorts to Parts and More Parts, this was a book I read to my 4 year old's class, and had them all interacting. Perfectly aimed at that age group, with the right level of humour (and you know what that means - *sigh*), it illustrates some of the idioms we use.

Actually, it illustrates the silly things we say about our body parts - and there are loads of them; for example, "I changed my mind" has the protagonist taking out one brain to put in another. Or when the teacher says "All eyes on me" the whole class throws their eyeballs at her. The kids loved the book, and it got quite a few laughs. I liked the way (well, yes, I found it funny, too) each page was dedicated to one body part, and the bar at the bottom of each page with still more idioms on that body part, illustrated by the boy again, his toy robot and his toy tank.

Funny, clever and not too gross; right up my street!
