Great book

As a nurse and as a middle-aged adult, I enjoyed this humorous account of the challenges of an adult going through the hoops of having a medical exam. It is written in Dr. Seuss style and uses that familiar style I loved as a child, to show the humor in growing old! It would be a great gift for someone turning 40, or 50, or 60, or more!

) I am a big fan of Dr. Seuss and no matter how old I get, I still enjoy reading all of his works. Some of his books, such as this one and Oh, The Places You'll Go, seem to have a message that's intended more for adults than it is for children. This book, just like all the others he's produced over the years, is cleverly written, humorous, uplifting, insightful and to the point!! There will never be another Dr. Seuss!!
Great book for those fans of Dr. Seuss

) I bought this book for my brother's birthday. But I had to read it before I gave it to him. Dr. Seuss does an awesome job of catching the imagination of those who are no longer children. He has an uncanny insight into that of growing old. My brother thought it was an awesome read. How insightful of Dr. Seuss. No doubt he was speaking from experience when writing this book.
Great gift idea!

) Dr. Seuss's quirky humor shines through and explores the world of growing old as only he could do! I purchased this as a gift for my mom who recently turned 60. There's a lot of truth in the book, especially funny is the section on the pills. Need to read it to find out more.

For us older folks, this is a humorous look at our miserable experiences with medical exams. When we go through test after test, are referred to doctor after another, and find outselves confused over all our prescriptions, we identify with the dear old main character.
Over the years, I bought several copies of this book for people who are very sick. Much laughter results.
On eBay, I can usually buy it more cheaply than in my local used book stores.
