Review: You're Only Old Once!

You're Only Old Once! You're Only Old Once! by Dr. Seuss
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Norval the Fish is a minor recurring character on the Nickelodeon series "The Wubbulous World of Dr. Seuss". He originally appeared in this Dr. Seuss book, the publication of which celebrated Seuss's 82nd birthday. At that age, I find the old master's verse somewhat lacking. It is overly verbose and not as crisp and clean in delivering its imaginative metaphors as his earlier classics are. However, the drawings are as good as any he has done and the storying being only a litany of prescriptions and examinations as health deteriorates with age, it can be enjoyed just as well taking in only the art.
