Arnold, T. (2004). Even more parts. Penguin Group.
Arnold, T. (2001). More parts. Dial Books.
These hilarious continuations of the original Parts book by the author of the Fly Guy series contain many examples of idioms. The illustrations reflect the literal meaning of the idioms instead of the actual, cultural meaning, to great comic effect.

Library/Classroom Use: Studying idioms with these books is a must. Activities such as illustrating the literal and actual meanings of idioms (possibly collaboratively with art), researching the history and origin of the idioms from the books, acting them out in pairs like charades, and using them as story starters are all possibilities. An author study on Tedd Arnold would also be popular at the elementary level.
