""Can't Stop Dinkin' is delightful. I read it from cover to cover in 15 minutes! The book was light and fun and each page brought a smile to my face. I sang to the poems that were written to different songs, which made it fun. I could relate to many verses in a lot of the poems. It was interesting to read how the author adapted to different physical ailments in order to continue playing pickleball. Well done! It will make a wonderful gift for pickleball friends!""
