Title: You're Only Old Once! Pdf A Book for Obsolete Children
Author: Dr. Seuss
Published Date: 1986
Page: 45

Subtitled A Book for Obsolete Children, this unusual item in the Seuss canon doesn't really belong among the children's books. Written to celebrate the nonsense master's 82nd birthday, it follows "you" (an elderly gent in a suit and white moustache) through a physical check-up in some fiendish geriatric clinic. You are measured, prodded, and subjected to all the medical indignities familiar and unfamiliar to the elderly. "You must see Dr. Pollen, our Allergy Whiz, who knows every sniffle and itch that there is... He will check your reactions to thumbtacks and glue, catcher's mitts, leaf mould, and cardigans too. Nasturtiums and marble cake, white and blue chalks, anthracite coal and the feathers of hawks." It's clear that the process is going to be long, but much shorter than the bill. The blurb on the back says it all: "Is this a children's book? Well... not immediately. You buy a copy for your child now and you give it to him on his 70th birthday." Actually, it would make an amusing gift for anyone over 40. --Richard Farr Dr. Seuss lightens the aches and pains of growing old with his inimitable wit and wisdom. In this new defense against aging, we follow our hapless hero through his checkup with the experts at the Golden Years Clinic.

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. In his own words, this is "a book for obsolete children." A perfect gift for retirement, birthdays, and holidays!

Great, funny "old" person birthday gift Great birthday gift for those big birthdays (30, 40, 50, 60...)Gave this to my grandma She didn't find it particularly amusing at first sight. I guess she got bored enough to read it as she called to thank me. She found it 'very amusing.' This is high praise from a woman who makes Englands Queen look emotional, by comparison.Seriously my grandma doesn't even have rbf, it's just a black hole of human emotion. If you look her in the eyes you know how Harry Potter felt when the Dementors were attacking him by the lake.If she thinks it's funny, anyone will.Not impressed. I got this to add to gift for a 40th Bday, to make it a bit funny, not knowing what it’s about. I wasn’t impressed. I didn’t find it amusing, and changed my mind. I felt that it might be better as a gift for someone 70+Although I was looking for something funny, it felt like it wasn’t right. Let me add that I’m a Dr. Seuss fan. Book had no print problems and delivered clean, I damaged and fast.
