Description
Chip Block, the hero of Parts, is back, and still
worried about falling apart based on the things
he hears. This time he’s made a list of all the
strange, crazy things he’s heard people say: “I
lost my head.” “My nose is running.” “I sang my
heart out. . . .” It’s scary stuff, but he has a plan
for making sure he doesn’t accidentally leave
any of his parts behind. A hilarious sequel to the
wildly popular Parts and More Parts.
In the beginning, there is an egg. Which may
become a baby bird, except if it becomes a
baby snake instead. Except if the baby snake is
really truly a dinosaur! In this young, clever, and
whimsical picture book in the spirit of Not a
Box and First the Egg, an egg is not just an egg,
but a symbol of the potential a child's imagination holds. As each image melds smoothly,
but unexpectedly, into the next, readers are
invited to stretch the limits of their imagination.
