In this book who thinks he is falling apart. He is combing his hair and he notices that some of his hairs fell out, he finds lint in his belly button and thinks his stuffing is coming out, his feet are peeling, and his "brains" are coming out of his nose. When his tooth gets lose, he decides that the glue that is supposed to hold him together isn't working. He starts to worry about his eyeballs, arms, and head coming off. He starts to tape himself together when his parents come in and tell him that all these things are normal, and that they grow back. The little boy feels much better.

I would recomend this book to little boys. I think it is the kind of humor that they love.

Problems: This book might cause children to pick at their skin or hair to see if it will come off.

My reaction: This book is funny, i liked it a lot.

My rating: ***
