If laughter is the best medicine, then You8217;re Only Old Once is a delightful new defense against aging. Anyone who has ever submitted to a battery of medical tests will empathize with Dr. Seuss8217;s Everyman as we follow him through his checkup with the experts at the Golden Years Clinic. From the initial Eyesight and Solvency Test through all the stops along Stethoscope Row to finally being 8220;properly pilled8221; and 8220;properly billed,8221; Dr. Seuss lightens the aches and pains of growing old with his inimitable wit and wisdom. A perfect gift for anyone over 50
A humorous look at aging and the many different types of medical care "obsolete children" must endure. Color illustrations accompany the text.
