The perfect gift for Grandma

By David D. Kelsey "Trisha K." - January 29, 2003

I bought this book as gifts for my mother and mother-in-law and couldn't have been happier with it. It is full of colorful, vibrant pictures and the words truly capture what a Grandmother is all about. Any Grandma would love this book!

Cute. but not great

By Elim - June 25, 2009

I thought there would be some kind of cutesy story in this book or at least catchy quotes, but I found neither. The book is really small and you'll be done with it in about 5 minutes at most. Seriously not worth the $[...] bucks i spent. If you plan on letting someone know that they are about to become a nana then, yeah, I suppose this would be fine. Other than that please save your money and buy something with an imagination.
