The most precious gift a grandparent has probably ever received is their grandchild (grandchildren). If there are grandparents in your family you might want to consider giving them "The Gifts Of Being Grand" to remind them of their important status. Perfect for seasoned grandparents, new ones or those looking forward to the blessed event.

"Welcome you whisper/and know more than maybe/you're head over heels/in love with this baby..." With charming poems and illustrations, Marianne Richmond's book celebrates the wonder, joys and rewards of being a grandparent. Ms. Richmond is a talented writer and illustrator and this book is a gem.

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!!!

This book is a wonderful story about the joys of becoming a grandparent. It's an especially nice gift for brand new grandparents.

I purchased this book for my in-laws who are going to be new grandparents this august! I taped a picture of my pregnancy test in the back of the book. It was a great way to surprise them and it's something they can enjoy reading to their future grandkids!

My Granddaughter found this book a few years ago and gave it to us, her Grandma and Pops.
The wonderful description of shared fun times for the children and grandparents, and the
fact that Caroline chose it and remembered those times with us, made the book special for
us. In July of 2010 we will become Great Grandparents! Through Amazon, I purchased enough
of these books to give one to each of my sons and wives as they reach this wonderful time
when they become "Grand".

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!

Absolutely beautiful book! Any grandparent would be thrilled to receive this book. It says how wonderful being a grandparent is.

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.

This is a beautiful book - very touching. I have it displayed as one of my "coffee table books"! Also check out "Grand-O-Grams" for a great way to keep in touch with grandkids. This includes postcards that can be sent for many holiday/occasions, as well as, some just for fun!

I give this book as a gift to friends who are new and first-time grandparents. It helps them to become aware of the new and wonderful changes in their lives. It has been 100% positively received.
