This is a cute story about an 8 year old boy who is sick and tired of doing what kids do. He didn't want to go to school, soccer practice, eat vegetables or play the violin everyday. He sat down his parents and told him that he was going to take a break and retire. His parents then threw him a retirement party and he left for Florida and lived in a retirement community. At first he loved everything about it, the naps, the games etc. But after awhile he realized it wasn't as fun and the "older people" were all talking about the good old days. He decided he missed all the things that made him a kid and decided to go back home and be a kid again.
I thought this book was a cute one which had a good lesson. Be happy with who you are and what makes you, you! However, this book did display the old people as typical larger, white haired and slower, which isn't always true.
