YOU’RE ONLY OLD ONCE!

Fun to gift to friends and family as they as they approach or reach that certain age!

This book is an excellent satire of medical care for older adults. Most people can find something that resonates with their personal experience.

I got this as a Christmas gift for my daughter and son-in-law who are in their 50's.

Hilarious! Dr Seuss never fails to deliver on capturing the humor of real life events. Highly recommend!

I have never been a great fan of the Dr. Seuss publications; however, because I am now in my senior years I decided to purchase this 52 page hardcover (You’re only old once: a book for obsolete children by Dr. Seuss) book. I found this volume amusing and sometimes funny. It is about an obviously elderly man waiting to be examined by a host of doctors for different things. They give him a bunch of tests and like real life; the doctors give him numerous prescriptions for medicine. The full color illustrations and clever story telling makes this story comes alive. What makes this book amusing is the fact that many elderly people can relate to the experiences shown in this book, from the list of prescriptions for a wide variety of medical issues, to the hospital and doctor bills. Whether you are a Dr. Seuss fan or not, this book is for both children of all ages 5 to 95. I could not help but like this Dr. Seuss book. Rating: 4 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Zen Poetry Moments: Haiku and Senryu for special occasions).

I have given this as a gift to several people, and it is always well received. Same Seuss characters and rhymes, but about health/medical issues. The last line in the book is the best.

Gift for a friend's 95th birthday. She loves it!

Love this book! Giving it to my 86-year-old father-in-law as part of his Christmas gift this year!
