The remainder of the book is an illustrated list of the sayings that have puzzled him. Chip has compiled a list of all the worrying and mystifying things he has heard from adults, and makes himself a suit of armour to protect him while he is at school. The protagonist is Chip from the first two books of the series, his name is revealed as – Chip. Aimed at children 4-8, it is an introduction to the use of idioms or figures of speech in language, and more specifically to the use of idioms involving body parts. Unlike its two predecessors, Even More Parts is not, strictly speaking, a narrative and is not written in rhyme. This final book in Arnold's trilogy was published in 2004, and is again illustrated by him.
Other expressions covered in the story include: For example, when his father asks him "to give a hand", he glues gloves to his hands to keep them from coming off his arms. Imagining that these expressions could lead to his body falling apart (his central preoccupation in Parts), Chip invents various kinds of protection for himself. Chip from Parts now becomes frightened by his literal interpretation of the idiomatic expressions involving body parts that he hears adults using. Like its predecessor, the story is aimed at 4-7 year olds, written in rhyme and illustrated by the author. This sequel to Parts was first published in 2001.
Finding him wrapped in the masking tape, his parents then explain to him about how parts of his body renew themselves. Convinced that he is falling apart and will soon become toothless, skinless, brainless, and bald, the boy tries to hold himself together with his father's masking tape until he resembles a mummy. His anxiety reaches its peak when he discovers one of his teeth is coming loose. The protagonist of Parts is young Chip Block, who notices that some of his hairs remain on his comb, lint is appearing in his navel, his skin is peeling, and a piece of mucus (which he assumes is a piece of his brain) falls out of his nose. It was inspired by a real life experience, when the author's young son, Walter, was disturbed by losing his first tooth. In 1998, it won the "Tellable" Stories for Ages 4–7 Award (Storytelling World) and in 1999, the Colorado Children's Book Award. It was followed by More Parts in 2001 and Even More Parts in 2004. Written in rhyme with cartoon-like watercolor illustrations, Parts is the first in Arnold's trilogy on the theme of body parts. It was first published on September 1, 1997.
