Synopsis
If laughter is the best medicine, then "You're Only Old Once! "is a delightful new defense against aging. Anyone who has ever submitted to a battery of medical tests will empathize with Dr. Seuss's Everyman as we follow him through his checkup with the experts at the Golden Years Clinic. From the initial Eyesight and Solvency Test through all the stops along Stethoscope Row to finally being "properly pilled" and "properly billed," Dr. Seuss lightens the aches and pains of growing old with his inimitable wit and wisdom. A perfect gift for anyone over 50!

    Humorous book for older adults.

    The book was in horrible shape. The cover and pages had been water soaked and some were not readable. Very disappointed and cannot use for what I needed it for. I am looking for another one.

    I bought it as a present for a elderly lady that was a librarian in the past. She still reads and enjoyed the book.

    I gave this book to a friend who was scheduled for a minor surgery. It was so appropriate for her situation, and she loved it. A fun "be well" card!
