Grimfield Hospital was voted safest hospital in America for the fourth straight year in a row but that was all about to change when tragedy struck the head surgeon Dr. Green of Grimfield Hospital’s family. Dr. Green’s steady hand and keen eyesight could not be matched by anyone in the town of Greenfield so he was either in the operating room or meetings all day and would arrive home by ten pm., every night. It was really taking a toll on his family life but couldn’t be helped because his wife loved money, booze and diamonds. Not much rest for the doctor but he loved his family more than anything and didn’t want to let them down so he stayed strong and stayed caffeinated all day long. Dr. Green’s world was about to turn upside down when he was at an out of town conference and got the call no one wants to get. His wife and two sons were involved in a car accident and the police didn’t have any more information. Dr. Green bolted out of the conference room and was able to charter a plane back home immediately but it would still take about an hour to get to the hospital. When the plane Dr. Green was flying on touched down at the airport runway it was too late his whole family was dead. As Dr. Green was stepping off the plane he received a call from the hospital breaking the bad news to him.

Babette Cole, whose work has been hailed by Parents magazine as "outrageously zany," turns ageism on its ear in this hilariously fresh look at the human life cycle. Two thoroughly modern grandparents tell their life stories to their skeptical grandchildren, and along the way debunk the myth that kids have a monopoly on fun and living dangerously. From childhood on through teenage angst and college dares, to young love and parenthood, these spunky octogenarians have seen and done it all. And they're not afraid of what the future holds. Blithely suggesting the possibility of reincarnation, they joke "we might be recycled as anything at all!" Cole combines a spare text with wickedly funny illustrations to create an utterly novel approach to the process of growing up and growing old. An ideal book for kids and grandparents to share. Drop dead, indeed!

It has been well said: “Death and death alone is what we must consult about life; and not some vague future or survival, in which we shall not be present. It is our own end; and everything happens in the interval between death and now. Do not talk to me of those imaginary prolongations which wield over us the childish spell of number; do not talk to me—to me who am to die outright—of societies and peoples! There is no reality, there is no true duration, save that between the cradle and the grave. The rest is mere bombast, show, delusion! They call me a master because of some magic in my speech and thoughts; but I am a frightened child in the presence of death!”[1]
