We gave this to Grandma as a gift and it's a special story for Grandma and the kids to read together. The kids never tire of hearing it and Grandma gets a real boost from reading it too.

This review is from: My Grandma Is Wonderful (My Relative Series) (Hardcover)

This is our family's third Nick Butterworth book. My mother discovered him on her most recent trip to London. We all love his books! I bought this book for my mother and had my kids give it to her as a "Just Because" gift. She loved it. The grandma in the book is the perfect mix of sweetness and (some)firmness. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to tell a granmda in their lives how special they are.
