About this title: If laughter is the best medicine, then "You'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. Seuss'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 "properly pilled" and "properly billed," Dr. Seuss lightens the aches and pains of growing old with his inimitable wit and wisdom. A perfect gift for anyone over 50!

"A funny, quirky, book about getting older, and being in the doctor's office. A great book for folks who grew up with Dr. Seuss, and can appreciate his humor as an adult, for adults, using the same rhyming patterns and silly nonsense words we loved when we were kids. It's cute and silly and fun. I think it'd be a great birthday present for people "of a certain age"."
"I think you have to truly be old or be with someone who is old to really appreciate this one. The jokes were just lost on me. I can imagine, but it's just not the same. Not really for kids. They would be bored."
"I liked this book because it seemed to portray in a humorous way the aging process. On the book jacket it said you buy a copy for your child now and give it to him on his 70th birthday. Dr. Seuss celebrated his 82nd birthday with the publication of the book."
