You're Only Old Once!
You're Only Old Once!: A Book for Obsolete Children | Seuss
7 posts | 9 read | 1 to read
With his unmistakable rhymes and signature illustration style, Dr. Seuss creates a classic picture-book ode to aging in You're Only Old Once! On a visit to "the Golden Years Clinic on Century Square for Spleen Readjustment and Muffler Repair," readers will laugh with familiar horror at the poking and prodding and testing and ogling that go hand in hand with the dreaded appellation of "senior citizen." Though Dr. Seuss is known for his peerless work in books for children, this comical look at what it's like to get older is ideal for Seuss fans of advanced years. In his own words, this is "a book for obsolete children." A perfect gift for retirement, birthdays, and holidays!

1. This is a cake I made for my husband for our anniversary. He's a chocoholic so it's a triple chocolate cake with buttercream frosting, chocolate ganache and chocolate covered strawberries.
2. My Father-in-law is retiring this week so we got him the tagged book as a gag gift.
3. 23/50
4. Too many....my biggest collections are blackdagger brotherhood; darkhunter series; Southern Vampire series
5. No, I wish.
