Using the old counting song "This Old Man" as a starting point, Kellogg adds nine wacky new verses. His illustrations, filled with humorous details and dialogue bubbles, introduce a delightful assortment of old men playing nick-nack and handing out bones, including a snow sculptor, a chicken-napper, and an umpire with a Seeing Eye dog. Includes music and an author's note about the song.
