An excellent parody of the Milne poems with sharp observations on growing older. I was brought up on the originals, and the rhythm, the humor, and the illustrations are absolutely spot on. There is, of course, a strong British flavor to the situations and the problems, but aging is universal.
Boring. This is the sort of book that I get as a present from people who know nothing about my likes/dislikes.
AA Milne's "Now we are Six" re-written for sixty-year-olds.
