Description



About the Book



Rhyming text follows the Everyman hero through his checkup with the experts at the Golden Years Clinic.



Book Synopsis



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.

The Doctor is in...Dr. Seuss that is! Readers will laugh along with the parade of medical madness as an elderly patient is poked, prodded and ogled during his stay at the "Golden Years Clinic on Century Square for Spleen Readjustment and Muffler Repair."

Once again, Dr. Seuss proves that his sharp wit and colorful imagination are a treat for readers of all ages. A perfect gift for retirement, birthdays, graduations, holidays, and anyone needing a little pick-me-up after a doctor's visit!

The books he wrote and illustrated under the name Dr. Seuss (and others that he wrote but did not illustrate, including some under the pseudonyms Theo. LeSieg and Rosetta Stone) have been translated into thirty languages. Hundreds of millions of copies have found their way into homes and hearts around the world. Dr. Seuss's long list of awards includes Caldecott Honors for McElligot's Pool, If I Ran the Zoo, and Bartholomew and the Oobleck, the Pulitzer Prize, and eight honorary doctorates.

Not what I thought....

Didn’t care for it. I read to pages and it was so boring I couldn’t continue. Returned.
