The Retired Kid

(3) K-3 Brian, tired of working so hard as a busy eight-year-old, retires to Florida to swim and play golf. Not surprisingly, he gets bored with talk of hip replacements and goes back home to enjoy his childhood. The book features some very funny images (e.g., Brian tasting a prune juice smoothie) and manages to keep its kid-appeal despite the adult-focused subject matter.
