How Not to Become a Crotchety Old Man

By Mary McHugh

Do you find yourself yelling at the TV? Are you incapable of reading instruction manuals? If so, you're at risk of developing crotchety old man-itis, and this is the book for you.

We all have a crotchety old man in our lives. Maybe he's your father, your grandfather, your brother, your husband--or, though you'd never admit it, even you Author Mary McHugh's 250 hilarious truths, illustrated by Adrienne Hartman, are a lighthearted razz of the grumpy old man prototype. You know the one: he salts everything automatically before tasting it, he thinks he's the best driver to ever grace pavement, and he still hasn't learned how to empty the dishwasher.

Compact in format, big on fun, and filled with hilarious insights, How Not to Become a Crotchety Old Man is a perfect Father's Day, birthday, stocking stuffer, or holiday gift for any man who wants to ensure he doesn't slip into the crotchety zone.

Customer Reviews

The book itself had more visible tears and rips than I expected.

A fine little joke book but quality of book itself wasn’t ideal.
