You're Only Old Once! : A Book for Obsolete Children by Seuss (2009, Hardcover)

Classic Dr Seuss with twist

Dr Seuss has a book written for adults. The book is written in rhymes typical of a Dr Seuss book, yet the content is made for us Baby Boomers and beyond. Sure to bring a chuckle!! Highly recommend!

Usless

Thought would be useful for grandkids to understand aging grandparents, just a silly book on old folks going for physicals, giving the runaround by doctors.

I'm official old, made 65 years!

I've been looking for this book but even working at a large used book store didn't help. Every time we got one in we has 3-4 requests waiting. A co-worker explained when I was old enough to understand it, the book would present itself. Not not sure now if this is a good thing anymore but I totally understand the book.Read full review

Both Brothers: Obsolete Southern oys

Enchanting view of us aged ones who are facing loss of hair, loss of mobility, and (sometimes) loss of dignity, but never ever loss of our sense of fun. This book pokes fun at our ordeals while keeping smiles alive. If you look in the mirror and wonder who that old person is, but still laugh at yourself, this just might be your book.

Gotta Do The "Old Bit" Correctly!

My sister gave me a subscription to AARP when I turned 50, but I couldn't do the same for her, because she lived in Canada - so I found this great Dr. Seuss book. Since then, I've given probably over a dozen copies to other people for "momentous" birthdays - and everybody LOVED their copy. No-one knew that Dr. Seuss had written a book for Seniors. So when I want to tease people about their birthdays, I simply buy another copy and fire it off at/to them! Incidentally, no-one has sent ME a copy and I'm celebrating my 78th birthday this year.(but I've practically memorized it by now anyways!).
DEFINITELY a MUST-BUY for your favorite Senior! They'll cherish it long after the cake is eaten and the flowers have faded.Read full review

Seussian Humor Does it Again.

Everyone needs a laugh every now and then, and this book should produce one. It makes fun of us aging folks for our many ailments that cause all those trips to the doctor's office. Anything Seuss will usually draw at least a giggle, and this one does, too. If you don't enjoy it just little bit, you're more of an old curmudgeon than you think you are!Read full review

The title You"re Only Old Once draws attention to anyone over fifty.

A story only Dr. Seuss could produce. The pictures and the words make being old seem just a little bit more easily endured.

Old age book

Thought this book would be more widespread about funny old age issues, but it primarily dwells on a hospital visit. Not quite what I expected. It is humerous

Great book Funny reading

Great book / gift for someone preparing to retire or nearing the "over the hill era". Funny reading written in the typical Dr. Seuss rhyming fashion.
