Great book for gifting to older audience (seniors)! Gets laughs and is memorable. Love Dr. Zeus
This book is an excellent satire of medical care for older adults. Most people can find something that resonates with their personal experience.
Gift for a friend's 95th birthday. She loves it!
Fun to gift to friends and family as they as they approach or reach that certain age!
I have given this as a gift to several people, and it is always well received. Same Seuss characters and rhymes,but about health/medical issues. The last line in the book is the best.
