"What would happen if you never had to grow up? You never had to become a grown-up with all of the not-fun things that come with it. No vegetables, no jobs, and definitely no boredom. This is a picture book about learning to never grow up--even when you're getting older. Some people get bigger without ever growing up at all. There are spunky scientists making amazing discoveries, hair artistes, chocolate cake makers, and even those who talk to bears. All you need to do is remember to question everything that you're told and maybe then, you'll never get old!"--Provided by publisher.
