Book Reviews of Life Smiles Back
Book Review: Bring life back with these joyous photos!
Summary: 5 Stars
In the doldrums? Hurt by a friend? Can't get going? Well, remember Life magazine? Remember the last page next to the cover--those hilarious, heart-warming photographs? How about a whole book full of wonderful, wacky photos?
"Life Smiles Back: More than 200 classic photos from the famous back page of America's favorite magazine" and Life Laughs Last: 200 More Classic Photos from the Famous Back Page of America's Favorite Magazine together will keep you and your family and friends laughing and stirring up endorphins and laughing some more.
Observe the little girl at work on kitty's milk on the cover. The book is organized into twelve chapters by similar topics. Chapter 1 is all about "Taking it easy" and shows little eight-month-old Liam Sean Horey propped in an innertube in Big Spring, Texas, and the family dog spread-eagle under an oscillating fan, or the kitty with elbow propped on the edge of the basin as it relaxes in the bathroom sink. Look under the bed where the boy is fast asleep while his dog is stretched comfortably across the bed, head on pillow.
Chapter 2 brings us "Close Encounters." For example, five-year-old Thomas Hester of Raleigh, North Carolina, tries to stuff his rather large frog into his rather small pocket. Take the barber with his leg wrapped around his charge, giving that first haircut.
In chapter 3, "signs of the times," three graduates in caps and gowns pass in front of a road sign that reads: End of improvement, thank you for your patience. It's funnier if you could see it. In "Boys and Girls" a young bride's recessional walk is ruined by a sword. In this military wedding as the double row of cadets raise their swords in salute, oops, one sword catches the veil and off it goes!
Dogs, cats, children, school events, little snippets of everyday life. Catching that humorous moment as it happens. What a delight this book is! What a great gift for any occasion!
