Grandma's book December 12, 2008 We really think this is a great way to pass on information from Grandma to grandchild. Wish there was one this nice/simple for Grandpa to fill out.
The Grandmother Book October 24, 2008 The Grandmother Book is unique because it asks the grandparent to reveal her personality and achievements in a fun and interesting manner. I have bought many copies to give as holiday presents for grandparents who appear old but are young in spirit and heart.
It's okay August 12, 2008 3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I bought it after reading all the great reviews, but it was a bit too "cutesy"; didn't seem like language that most people would use. It does have a lot of space to write and some good questions, but no better than any other book. I would pass on this one, and get one of the many other good choices out there.
Great Mother's Day Present July 28, 2008 After seeing this book on "The View", I decided that I was going to buy it for my mother, mother-in-law, and stepmom. After seeing their reaction, I knew this book was golden. My mother-in-law has said this has been her favorite mother's day present in years. She spent the whole next weekend digging through photo albums and writing in the book. I decided to give this book to my own grandmother and grandmother-in-law as well. What a great way to pass on family history!
Loved it!! June 7, 2008 I gave this to my mother so that she could fill it out for my son. She and I both absolutely loved it. I can't wait for her to complete it and for my son to get it back as a gift from his grandmother, detailing her many life experiences. The price was cheaper than any of my local book stores.
