Great as Gift for Getting Older

Was a great addition to a gift package for a friend turning 40, and would also be great for any of those monumental birthday years. Not necessarily a young audience kind of book, much of it will go over their head. Reasonably priced and average shipping experience.

Definitely Dr. Seuss for the Older Crowd

I ordered this book just because it sounded fun and I was so right! It is Dr. Seuss at his best and it's very fun ... and funny! I got it to give to a friend, but now that I've read it, I plan to give one to my doctor too! I'm sure he'll appreciate the humor.

You are in good shape for the shape that you're in

“You're in pretty good shape for the shape that you're in.” A fun book for children from 5 to 125 years of age. It can be helpful to talk to children about learning to take care of themselves (you are what you eat, exercise your body and mind, etc) and aging children might commiserate with the character who is poked and prodded in a series of examinations and testing.
