도대체 내 몸에서 무슨 일이 벌어지고 있는 걸까요? 어느날 머리를 빗다가 머리털이 두올 빠진 것을 발견했습니다. 내 나이 다섯에 벌써 대머리가 되는 것은 아니겠지요? 그리고 다음날 배꼽 근처에서 뭔가 하얀 물질이 떨어지는가 하면, 발바닥의 껍질이 벗겨지기도 했습니다. 하루는 콧속에서 축축한 덩어리가 툭 떨어지기까지 했지요. 그리고 무엇보다도 놀란 것은 그 단단하던 이빨이 흔들리기 시작한 것입니다. 내 몸이 하나씩 분해되기 시작한 것일까요?
유치에서 영구치로 가는 나이에 일어날 수 있는 신체의 변화를, 유머러스한 글과 그림을 통해 재미있게 보여줍니다. 즐겁게 큰 소리로 웃으면서 즐길 수 있는 그림책입니다.

Annotation
A five-year-old boy thinks his body is falling apart untill he learns new teeth grow and hair and skin replace themselves.
From the Publisher
First, his hair started falling out. Then skin started peeling from his toes. Some stuffing came out of his belly button, and a piece of something gray and wet-his brain?-fell out of his nose. Is this normal? Or is this boy coming unglued? With a perfect combination of humor and grossness, this look at one boy's farfetched fears will have readers laughing their heads off!
Publisher's Weekly
In this humorously askew look at the body, belly-button lint leads a five-year-old boy to believe he's falling apart. "I stared at it, amazed, and wondered,/ What's this all about?/ But then I understood. It was/ My stuffing coming out!" Each discovery increases the narrator's anxiety. Strands of hair in a comb arouse thoughts of premature baldness; "a chunk of something gray and wet," fallen from a nostril, is identified as "a little piece of brain." (Attempting to find answers, the young hypochondriac pores over a stack of books on gray matter, including a "Book of Marbles" for those losing theirs.) The boy's parents insist that nose goo and flaky skin are normal, but their solemn reassurance is met with a gross punch line: "Then tell me, what's this yellow stuff I got out of my ear?" Whimsical cartoons, in warm watercolor hues and texturized with squiggles of colored pencil that resemble the boy's decreasing hairs, show the narrator in the foreground and his worst fantasies in the background. The subject matter, despite its potential to be disgusting, is treated as funny but commonplace. Trying to make sense of one's "parts" is a common childhood concern, and Arnold's (No More Water in the Tub!) comical hyperbole will set children at ease about fears they might hesitate to share.
Children's Literature
Imagine you are just a young kid and when you see some fluff in your bellybutton, its panic time, because of course all of your stuffing must be coming out. Arnold in his own inimitable style with a bug-eyed big headed kid goes over all the concerns of growing up and the accompanying loss of hair, skin, and teeth. Our young boy's parents, parenting manual in hand, reassure him that its all normal and there is nothing to fear. It is funny and some kids will be reassured while the more sophisticated ones will be amused.
Kirkus Reviews
Arnold (The Simple People, 1992, etc.) cashes in by grossing out the picture-book set in this story in rhyme, which kids with rough-and-ready sensibilities will relish and fastidious adults will shun, for the same reasons.
The goggle-eyed narrator has noticed that he loses hairs, his skin peels, and a tooth is loose, not to mention his discoveries of belly-button lint and nose yuck. He comes to the alarming conclusion that he's going bald and toothless, shedding his skin, losing his stuffing, and his brains are leaking out his nose. His parents reassure him that all these lost parts renew themselves. His response: "That's really good to hear! Then tell me, what's this yellow stuff I got out of my ear?" Stupid, silly, and base, in equal measure, this has watercolor illustrations that are textured with colored-pencil curlicues in such a way that they look hairy, like the tangles that clog a shower drain.
Booklist
The poetry doesn't quite scan, but that's more than balanced by Arnold's unusual topic and his hilarious illustrations. A pop-eyed youngster is having a hard time. He seems to be falling apart. After losing a few hairs, he thinks he's going bald; his belly button lint is his stuffing coming out; "a chunk of something gray and wet" from his nose is none other than a piece of his brain; and a loose tooth puts him into shock. "Quite soon I'll be in pieces in / A pile without a shape. / Thank goodness Dad keeps lots and lots / And lots of masking tape." The gross factor is a key ingredient here, with Arnold exploiting it nicely in bold, comical illustrations that catch the full-blown anxieties of the imaginative narrator. When Mom and Dad intervene, little boy and audience alike breathe a sigh of relief. A zany, ultimately reassuring take on something that may indeed be a child's bugaboo.
