From reading others reviews I thought this would be a perfect gift for our parents. When I read it I thought the poem through out was kind of goofy. I thought it would be a book ABOUT grandparents that would be cute to read to the grandkids. It was more for grandparents and I didn't think it would keep my kids entertained & I couldn't see our parents sitting down to read and re-read this book. I'm sure it's perfect for some, but it wasn't what I had expected...the book was returned.
If you're looking for a cute gift to give to a new grandparent, this is perfect. It's basically just a long poem about how wonderful being a grandparent is.I gave this to my mother when my son was born and she just loved it. She immediately held the tiny newborn infant on her lap and read this book to him, explaining to him all along the way about how close they were going to become. (For what it's worth, I believe he slept through the entire experience.)It's not the great American novel by any means. But it's a great gift for a new grandparent who will appreciate the short little tale inside.
What a disappointment. It's basically a long poem about grandparents with illustrations such as you would find in a children's book. Pretty illustrations, true, but I was looking for a substantive book about the role of grandparents. I'm sorry there were no reviews for me to consider before I purchased this.
Book is written for a child, not the adult grandparent; yet the story (poem) is for a child. I thought the book was silly and will return.
Love this book ! Received and cried ...I've Given and cried .. Truly a winner of a gift for a first time grandparent . Perfect as a group " card" which I've used several times . Can't recommend enough !! Not a book you read over and over so I've purchased several used and they have been in perfect condition .
Marianne Richmond's book is absolutely wonderful, warm, touching and sunny!!!! As a grand, it portrays the job to a tee.It is both humorous and heartwarming.I can't wait to send it to my new grand friends!!! The illustrations are colorful and make one feel so good all over.I read the book to my Mom, who is now the greatgrand-she loved dit!!!
I was given this book when I was a 1st time grandma. I now try to buy it for my 1st time grandma-friends. It's a GREAT book!
