Summary: Lame humor, sketchy illustrations & inappropriate theme
Review: pretty inappropriate - it goes through all the things the grandparents did in their day
like smoking and dating and drugs, and that's subject matter suitable for teenagers not kids 5+ like this book is aimed at, and ends with "one day we'll just drop dead, like everybody else".
some people might find it hip and cool way of raising children, but I find it simply inappropriate.

Summary: Wouldn't be dead for quids!
Review: The kids ask their grandparents "Why are you such bald old wrinklies?" The grandparents explain that they weren't always old wrinklies - that they started out as baby wrinklies, and since then they have lead exciting lives on their way to becoming old. This book helps kids realise that old people were young people once too, without being preachy about it .
