About four days ago, a plane landed in America with a man who claimed to be 2000 years old. Today, that man is visiting a school just like yours to tell the children of the world what it's like to be 2000 years old.
Here are some of the things you will learn:
What did the 2000 Year Old Man use for transportation? FEAR. You see, an animal would growl at you, and you would go two miles a minute!
What language did the 2000 Year Old Man speak? Rock. Basic rock. Like, "Hey, don't throw that rock at me! Put that rock away!"
What food did the 2000 Year Old Man eat Only what was natural and organic. Clouds, stars, rocks. Big things and small things. But we had to be careful of the red ants because a few live ones on your tongue will eat your tongue before you eat them.
Comic geniuses Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner have teamed up once again to bring their beloved 2000 Year Old Man to school. This is one show-and-tell exhibit you're never going to forget!
When a 2,000-year-old man arrives at a modern-day school, kids pepper him with questions such as "What did you use for transportation back when you were a boy?" He replies, "Fear...You see, an animal would growl at you, and you would go two miles in a minute." Parents will savor introducing a new generation to the beloved Brooks-Reiner comedy routine, brimming with one-liners and anachronistic encounters between the old man and Robin Hood, Shakespeare, and Albert Einstein. A CD of the comic duo reading excerpts is included. (ages 6 to 8)

The 2000 Year Old Man Goes to School
For those who love the original sketches by the authors, you can enjoy this with your family. As a fan of Brooks and Reiner, I can "read" this in the voices and tones of the classic sketches. The only reason I can not recommend this to every reader is that, if you do not know the classic sketch, this seems too limited. Consider this a sequel if you will - it has all the veneer, made kid friendly, of the original, but without knowing the flow and timing that Brooks and Reiner brought to the classic sketches, it is not the same. The book does include a CD with the work performed by the authors, but most will appreciate it more with the original in mind.
I like it, I recommend it to those who appreciate the classic sketch, but the only thing that stops it from being a five star review is that it works better if you watch the original. Brooks and Reiner still pack a family friendly wallop, so don't miss this if you love their works. If you are not familiar with the existing sketches, start there... this book should be around for...oh, 2000 years or so.
