A New York Times-bestselling author looks for the meaning of a good life by seeking advice from the very young and the very old.

When his first book tour ended, Brad Montague missed hearing other people's stories so much that he launched what he dubbed a Listening Tour. First visiting elementary schools and later also nursing homes and retirement communities, he hoped to glean new wisdom as to how he might become a better grownup. Now, in this playful and buoyant book, he shares those insights with rest of us --timeless, often surprising lessons that bypass the head we're always stuck in, and go straight to the heart we sometimes forget.

Each of the book's three sections begins with the illustrated story of "The Incredible Floating Girl." Brad weaves this story together with lessons of success, fear, regret, gratitude, love, happiness, and dreams to reveal the true reason we are here: to fly, and to help others fly.

Beautifully designed and featuring Montague's own whimsical 4-color illustrations that appeal to the kid in all of us, Becoming Better Grownups shares the purpose and meaning we can all discover merely by listening, and reveals that--in a world that seems increasingly childish--the secret to joy is in fact to become more childlike.

Love.
Color: Pig Balls
My frenchies love these and large enough not to worry about choking. Also the squeaker lasts longer than most of their latex toys so good or bad, I think it’s good.

Puppy Favorite!
Color: Funny Face Balls
Just the right size for a cocker puppy to fit in her mouth (3 mos. old) and squeak. She will do this indefinitely if I let her, lol! Seems to be very satisfying for her. I can only take so much of it but she loves them. Also bounces erratically when you toss it which she loves.

INDESTRUCTIBLE!!
Color: Transparent with tennis ball inside (1-pack)
My dog is a seriously aggressive chewer! He can destroy a full size basketball in about 10 minutes. He has had this ball about 3 months and loves it!! It is still just like new! I will say it had a very strong chemical smell when it arrived. I ran it through the dishwasher before giving it to him and it came out fine. l

Not worth it
This ball will last about fifteen minutes. There’s definitely a squeak, size is great due to the handle, and dogs will have fun with it…for a short time. Then, it goes in the trash.
