From best-selling humorists Ross and Kathryn Petras comes a colorful
counting board book that pokes fun at the pitfalls of getting older.
This fun and playful package is a perfect gift for grown-ups who are
growing old gracefully--with a sense of humor.
The 1, 2, 3s of adulthood differ ever so slightly from the popular
grade-school primers of yesteryear inside Ross and Kathryn Petras's 1,
2, Can't Reach My Shoe. This clever counting book for the middle-aged
(which the United States Census Bureau defines as age 35 and above) is
perfect for readers of a certain vintage who intend to grow old
gracefully--and with a sense of humor.
Featuring full-color, retro illustrations in a playful board book
format, 1, 2, Can't Reach My Shoe makes an excellent, humorous gift
for the more than 78.2 million baby boomers in the United States.
Consider:
* 3: When they were first going out in their twenties, Thaddeus and
Theresa used to have sex THREE times each day. Now that they are
middle-aged, they still have sex THREE times. A year.
*: Hey, those don't look like numbers! And you're right. They are not
numbers. They are symbols that are used with numbers . . . and they are
all over middle-aged Milton's doctor's report. It says I should have a
total cholesterol 60. I should have LDL * 59 1/2: Today is a great day!
It is Carl's FIFTY-NINTH-AND-A-HALF birthday! Carl usually wouldn't
celebrate a half birthday, but this one is different. Since he has
turned FIFTY-NINE-AND-A-HALF, he is getting a nice present from his
Uncle Sam: his very first penalty-free IRA distribution!
