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--and makes a perfect gift to celebrate birthdays and other milestones! 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! Review Subtitled A Book for Obsolete Children, this unusual item in the Seuss canon doesnt really belong among the childrens books. Written to celebrate the nonsense masters 82nd birthday, it follows you (an elderly gent in a suit and white moustache) through a physical check-up in some fiendish geriatric clinic. You are measured, prodded, and subjected to all the medical indignities familiar and unfamiliar to the elderly. You must see Dr. Pollen, our Allergy Whiz, who knows every sniffle and itch that there is... He will check your reactions to thumbtacks and glue, catchers mitts, leaf mould, and cardigans too. Nasturtiums and marble cake, white and blue chalks, anthracite coal and the feathers of hawks. Its clear that the process is going to be long, but much shorter than the bill. The blurb on the back says it all: Is this a childrens book? Well... not immediately. You buy a copy for your child now and you give it to him on his 70th birthday. Actually, it would make an amusing gift for anyone over 40. --Richard Farr About the Author THEODOR SEUSS GEISEL-aka Dr. Seuss-is one of the most beloved children’s book authors of all time.
