5.0 out of 5 stars It's All You Need, May 24, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Build the Grandma Connection: The Complete Pocket Guide (Paperback)
As a grandparent with too many things already to keep on top of, what a refreshing find is "How To Build the Grandma Connection". I looked at other grandparenting books and they just seemed too big and overwhelming. This book is a concise guide to the essentials of grandparenting. Everything you need is here. And, if you want more information, the author points you to many more quality resources at the end of the book. Start with this book and you just can't go wrong!

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple and Inspiring, April 22, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Build the Grandma Connection: The Complete Pocket Guide (Paperback)
I read an article about this book in the Dallas Morning News and bought a copy. I recommend it highly! The ideas and tips offer something for everyone. I loved thinking of myself as a VIP after I read the chapter "Why Grandparents Are VIPs", and the chapter on the Life Lessons of Grandparenthood is very inspiring. I don't live in the same city as my grandchildren, but this book is helping me maintain a close relationship with them. Every grandparent should have a copy of this gem.

4.0 out of 5 stars How to Build the Grandma Connection, May 23, 2000
This review is from: How to Build the Grandma Connection: The Complete Pocket Guide (Paperback)
As an enthusiastic grandma and co-author of another new book for grandparents, "Grandloving: Making Memories with Your Grandchildren" I'm delighted to recommend Susan's book. It's wonderful to see others who are also supporting and encouraging the grandparent/grandchild relationship with super ideas!
