Book Description

AARP November 1, 2005

Today’s grandmothers lead full and active lives that include everything from working and traveling to taking classes and volunteering. But that’s no surprise. Through the years, they have enjoyed many rich and wonderful experiences, and now it’s time to share them.

This unique memory book gives a new generation of grandmothers a way to do just that. Your grandchildren will love finding out more about you, a fascinating person in your own right. The coolest fashions in high school, how you became engaged, your role models, and the values you cherish most are the types of details that your grandchildren are really interested in. They’ll also like learning about their ancestors to gain a better understanding of themselves.

For My Grandchild will help you open up that dialogue with the special young people in your life. There are straightforward fill-in-the-blanks for specifics such as family-tree information. And you’ll find broader questions followed by plenty of space for writing in longer, more personal answers. This keepsake volume also includes places for pasting in photos and mementos that you would like your grandchildren to have.

Use these pages to pass on traditions, such as your famous cookie recipe, and to offer wisdom, such as an inspiring quote, in a contemporary, appealing way.

Tell your family’s story in For My Grandchild and create a strong connection between generations.

5.0 out of 5 stars For My Grandchild, November 4, 2007
This review is from: For My Grandchild: A Grandmother's Gift of Memory (AARP) (Hardcover)
This book, when filled out by "Grandma", will be a treasure. I have just started filling mine in and it is taking me to places I had not thought about for years. This will contain information my own children don't know about me. Give yourself a lot of time to do this, there are picture pages for which I will have to have copies made, etc. I might not want to give it away right after it is complete. I will want to enjoy it myself.

3.0 out of 5 stars An heirloom for the grandkids, October 3, 2007
This review is from: For My Grandchild: A Grandmother's Gift of Memory (AARP) (Hardcover)
A collection of questions and spaces for photos that act as a useful prompt for grandparents to record all those things that a grandchild might wonder about later in life.
Nicely presented, but I worry about the paper sleeve over the hardcover getting torn. Also, it would be nice to provide pockets for photos rather than just spaces.
The questions are good and far ranging however some are USA-specific, for example: 'who was president...'.
All in all a worthwhile purchase.

1.0 out of 5 stars Too simple, November 11, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I have purchased many of these books (Grandfather Remembers: Memories for My Grandchild, For My Grandchild: A Grandmother's Gift of Memory (AARP), Grandmother Remembers: A Written Heirloom for My Grandchild, A Grandparent's Legacy: Your Life Story in Your Own Words, Memories for My Grandchild, A Grandparent's Book, Grandparents' Memory Book: Did You Really Walk Five Miles to School?) because it's impossible to tell from reviews which ones will be good and the "Look Inside" is often unavailable or unhelpful. I will look at all of them and keep the one I like or make my own, depending on the results.

Third Review of the bunch:
This is actually the worst book of the bunch. The styling is fun and retro, but the questions are too broad. For example, it might ask "Tell me about school" and give a half of a page for writing, whereas the other books will devote a whole section (several pages) to this. The main difference with this book is that it has a lot of spot for photos which none of the other books so far have really had. So, if you want a more photo, less text book, this is the one for you.
