Bookroo's summary
A young boy faces a bizarre challenge: keeping his body parts intact as idioms come to life. From 'give me a hand' to 'scream your lungs out,' he must navigate a world where words have unexpected consequences. Can he outsmart these literal interpretations and stay in one piece? This laugh-out-loud adventure turns language on its head, promising a wild ride through the quirks of speech. Will he manage to hold onto his head, or will the idioms get the best of him?
From the publisher
People say the strangest things: Give me a hand . . . Hold your tongue . . . Scream your lungs out . . . What if a kid wants to keep all of his body parts in place? Well then, he’ll need to take some creative-and side-splittingly funny-action. In this knee-slapper of a follow-up to the award-winning Parts, Tedd Arnold brings to visual life some of our very silliest figures of speech. But be careful, readers: This clever book just might make you laugh your heads off!
