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!

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'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.

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.

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.

You always hear older people telling others (regardless their age), “Never get old”. This book is just what is needed to keep you young. As with all Dr Seuss books, the reader is transported into a world of enjoyment and laughter through words and pictures. Any older person or care giver who has ever waited for a doctor or test results can identify with the main character in this book. There is nothing about this book to dislike. It provides enjoyment and laughter for the reader. In fact, the reader is able to continue thinking about this story and reread it. As my mother asked after finishing the book. “So what was wrong with him?” My answer, “Everything and nothing”. Laughter is the medicine, prescribed (wrote) by the doctor. So take this book and read it!
Everyone needs a laugh every now and then, and this book should produce one. It makes fun of us aging folks for our many ailments that cause all those trips to the doctor's office. Anything Seuss will usually draw at least a giggle, and this one does, too. If you don't enjoy it just little bit, you're more of an old curmudgeon than you think you are!

A story only Dr. Seuss could produce. The pictures and the words make being old seem just a little bit more easily endured.
