B Is for Botox: An Alphabet Book for the Middle-Aged

By Kathryn Petras and Ross Petras

Book Overview

Remember when A was for apple? Well, now (sigh) A is for aging.

The A, B, Cs of adulthood differ ever so slightly from the popular grade school primers of the past inside Ross and Kathryn Petras's B Is for Botox: An Alphabet Book for the Middle-Aged. This hilarious board book has a fun, retro look and makes a unique gift for grown-ups who don't necessarily want to grow up. Dripping with sarcasm, each letter will remind you that while you still have your sense of humor, jokes about aging seem to ring a little truer than they used to

For example:

A is for Antique.

Arnold sees his favorite childhood toy, the Atomic Astro-Rocket, on Antiques Roadshow. It is officially an antique "Hmm," thinks Arnold. "Does this mean that now that I'm middle-aged, I'm officially an antique?" Hmm. . . What do you think?

Customer Reviews

Great for a good laugh

I reviewed this book in person at the local bookstore, and it is great for a lot of laughs if you are in the 40-50 age group. In this world you need a light laugh once in a while, and this book delivers just that. Men or women would benefit from it.
