I’d Rather Be 40 Than Pregnant by Karen Kavet (1983)

Turning forty with wit, cartoons and relief

Very Good Condition – Vintage book in very good condition with minor cover and edge wear.

Karen Kavet takes a humorous look at reaching forty and discovering that middle age may be far more appealing than the alternatives. Through short observations and Martin Ruskin’s cartoons, the book pokes fun at changing bodies, shifting priorities, family life and the small absurdities that arrive with experience. Its cheerful message is that getting older comes with its own freedoms, perspective and pleasures. Light, quick and self-aware, I’d Rather Be 40 Than Pregnant is a vintage gift book for anyone ready to laugh at another birthday.
