5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Resource!, October 30, 2009

This review is from: The Grandparents Handbook (Hardcover)

Grandparents are engaged and active in the lives of their grandkids and though it will be many years before I will have the opportunity to be considered a grandparent myself, I was asked to review this book for all of you (my readers) who might be grandparents or soon to be grandparents.

This book is a treasure trove of ideas, recipes, and helpful hints about being a hip, as well as savvy grandparent today. It talks about pitfalls as well as areas where you can really help, and it helps you understand the differences between being a parent and a grandparent (it is more than just - we can give the kids back!)

The book itself reads much like a handbook and is a great gift idea for yourself or for another new grandparent out there.

Bought this for a baby shower for the maternal grandmother-to-be. She was thrilled and started reading the book that night. She told me how helpful the book is and was also easy reading and easy to search through. Fun illustrations.

I gave these 2 books as a gift to a friend that became new grandparents & they just loved them. Said, they never knew there were books like this. I glanced thru them before giving it to them. It covers everything & is funny.
