Forest_city_bookstore didn't hesitate! They responded quickly and were very accommodating.....even on Sunday! My shipment arrived quickly, well packed and protected. I hope to deal with them again.

    Classic Dr Seuss with twist

    Dr Seuss has a book written for adults. The book is written in rhymes typical of a Dr Seuss book, yet the content is made for us Baby Boomers and beyond. Sure to bring a chuckle!! Highly recommend!

    Usless

    Thought would be useful for grandkids to understand aging grandparents, just a silly book on old folks going for physicals, giving the runaround by doctors.

  • I'm official old, made 65 years!

    I've been looking for this book but even working at a large used book store didn't help. Every time we got one in we has 3-4 requests waiting. A co-worker explained when I was old enough to understand it, the book would present itself. Not not sure now if this is a good thing anymore but I totally understand the book.

  • Both Brothers: Obsolete Southern oys

    Enchanting view of us aged ones who are facing loss of hair, loss of mobility, and (sometimes) loss of dignity, but never ever loss of our sense of fun. This book pokes fun at our ordeals while keeping smiles alive. If you look in the mirror and wonder who that old person is, but still laugh at yourself, this just might be your book.

  • Gotta Do The "Old Bit" Correctly!

    My sister gave me a subscription to AARP when I turned 50, but I couldn't do the same for her, because she lived in Canada - so I found this great Dr. Seuss book. Since then, I've given probably over a dozen copies to other people for "momentous" birthdays - and everybody LOVED their copy. No-one knew that Dr. Seuss had written a book for Seniors. So when I want to tease people about their birthdays, I simply buy another copy and fire it off at/to them! Incidentally, no-one has sent ME a copy and I'm celebrating my 78th birthday this year.(but I've practically memorized it by now anyways!). DEFINITELY a MUST-BUY for your favorite Senior! They'll cherish it long after the cake is eaten and the flowers have faded.
