Both grandmothers LOVED it as Xmas gifts!! December 25, 2008
My Memories for My Grandchild
We bought two of these; one for each grandmother. Today is Xmas and a few hours ago, my son's grandmothers both opened their gift and raved!
My mother especially was excited because she has always been the keeper of the family stories and genealogy, and this book, with it's pointed questions, gives her a "mission" for the next few months, filling in all the blanks for my son's future edification.
The book is nicely designed and well thought out. The questions are comprehensive and elicit memories of times past that can then be recounted for time eternal.
Highly recommended!
Beautiful Memory Book December 20, 2008
(review written by Nick's wife) I came across these memory books in a parenting magazine and loved the idea of having my children's grandparents fill them out. I even bought some for my grandparents to fill out for me.
After searching through everything Amazon has to offer, I ended up purchasing a variety of books. I chose Mom, Dad, Grandma and Grandpa, Tell Me Your Memories, A Grandparent's Legacy and Memories for My Grandchild.
Memories for My Grandchild has the most flexible layout - meaning there is no guide for filling things out at a certain time. It is also the largest book, measuring about 8" x 10" and just less than 1" thick. It has a covered spiral binding. This is the only book with a pocket in the back to drop in any special items and a pull-out page to fill in the family tree. The pages in this book are lined as well.
A Grandparent's Legacy is probably my favorite of the books I purchased. It is laid out month-by-month with topics to discuss. The book measures 8" x 5" with a nice covered spiral binding and is about .75" thick. Each page has topics to discuss and lines for writing.
I was slightly disappointed in all the Tell Me Your Memory books. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but I really didn't think they would all be the same with a different cover page as they are. I was really disappointed in the size of the books. They are 4" x 5.5" with a 1" spiral binding. Each is about 1" thick. It is laid out for a full calendar year - each day having a different question or memory for the person do write about. The pages have a question at the top and are blank (no lines) below.
The books all cover similar questions and memories. I haven't gone page-by-page to compare, but have been pleased with what I've seen so far. Since the books are so similar, I'm basing my overall opinion on the appearance and friendliness of the layout.
Great keepsake book December 8, 2008

I bought 3 different grandparent books to compare and then see which I wanted to give to my parents and parents-in-laws to complete for my son. This is my favorite of the three. Here are my positive remarks: envelope in the back for extra photos/memories, there are 2 resource pages in the back for more genealogy help, and it has good questions and organization. The only negative I see is that there may not be enough room to write after each question (about 5-7 lines). It comes wrapped in plastic. This goes chronologically through one grandparent's life, so buy one for each person to complete. I recommend this and hope to get several more for gifts for the holiday. It's a gift they can (and should) regift!
Great for memories! November 30, 2008
I got this for all four grandparents - it is the best that I have seen! It breaks up into different sections - childhood, teen, adult, etc. so it is easy for grandparents to write memories and has lots of good starting point questions. There is even questions on how their parents for more information! One of the grandparents has already passed away and it is easy to fill out his book as well. Highly recommended!!
 Treasured Keepsake September 6, 2008

I purchased this book as gifts for some first time Grandmothers that I know. It's a wonderful book that prompts the writer to share stories of themselves, their parents, child and grandchild. I have something similiar from my Grandma. She gave it to me when I was in my 20's and it is a treasure for me. Great for people that have a family history they would like to share so that it doesn't get lost with time. Easy to fill out because it is not something that needs to be completed immediately, you can write stories as they come to you or as a new family memory happens. Every page has a "prompt" for the family history/information or story. I gave it 4 stars because I was under the impression when I ordered it that there would be room for family recipes and I didn't see an area for that when I looked through it. I will order it again.
