And when age starts to get you down, Zelda herself shows you how to ¿win with a double chin.¿ Life is tough, but Zelda¿s Survival Guide shows that if you can laugh and hang on, you will live to tell the tale.Zelda¿s tender toughness has made her the official ¿spokesdog¿ of the Delta Society, promoting the role animals play in human health and well-being.

5.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining and witty gem, October 1, 2003

Zelda's Survival Guide is a treasure trove of tidbits on survival, from the doggone determined diva, one of a kind Zelda herself. A fabulous gift book for all ages, from school age children to senior survivors. Each vignette features outstanding photos, costume props and amusing one-liners. The perfect stocking stuffer for the upcoming holidays. Buy several at a time. Fourth in the series of Zelda books, and in my opinion, the best so far. If you aren't already a fan of Zelda, you will be after treating yourself to this entertaining and witty gem.

As usual Zelda comes through and so does this book. Funny with a great deal of truth. Zelda tells it like it is and doesn't slobber while she is doing it.
