by Dr. Seuss [Theodor Seuss Geisel] (author & illustrator)
As the title implies, this is not a children’s book but geared towards adults, even though it looks like it’s for kids.
“Join in on the fun (and funny) journey of getting older with this hilarious Dr. Seuss picture book—it’s just what the doctor ordered for new retirees, old souls, and kids at heart—and makes a perfect gift to celebrate birthdays and other milestones!”
(As the dust jacket says, "Is this a children's book? Well ... not immediately. But buy a copy for your child now and give it to him on his 70th birthday"!)
With his unmistakable rhymes and signature illustration style, Dr. Seuss creates a classic picture-book ode to aging in You're Only Old Once! On a visit to "the Golden Years Clinic on Century Square for Spleen Readjustment and Muffler Repair," readers will laugh with familiar horror at the poking and prodding and testing and ogling that go hand in hand with the dreaded appellation of "senior citizen."
Though Dr. Seuss is known for his peerless work in books for children, this comical look at what it's like to get older is ideal for Seuss fans of advanced years.
Condition: hardcover (cloth over boards), with some wear at bottom edge, a fine copy in a jacket with slight wear at head and tail of spine else near fine. $12
