Book Description

4 and upP and up
Open Granny's purse (yes, she said it's OK) and enter a treasure chest of mementos and magic. A unique, fourteen-page die-cut storybook crammed with interactive features and surprises for ages 3 and up, it contains a whole life waiting to be discovered.

Peek inside Granny's notebook. Try on her sunglasses. Check yourself in the mirror. Play with her keys. Look at her photos, read her letter, tie a bow, try on Granny's rings, wear her scarf. Not only is Granny's purse a veritable playground for little girls, but piece by piece it creates a portrait of an adventurous, independent, contemporary grandmother, imbued with spirit and gumption. This Granny's a traveler (and has the passport filled with stamps to prove it). A self-sufficient handyperson with her wrench and compass. A collector of lives and memories. And a genuine softie, with handfuls of treats ready to dispense.

She is also a very wise woman: My mommy says, 'You should never look in a lady's purse.' My granny says, 'Never say never!' My mommy says, 'Clean up your room!' 'Never throw anything away,' says granny. And while mommy always says, Sit still, please!, there's granny: Let's go! . . . Life is an adventure!

My Granny's Purse is illustrated in full color, has a Velcro closure, and comes in a clear plastic, stackable gift box. Jam-packed with fun things, it's really a story about love between the generations.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Keepsake, December 26, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: My Granny's Purse (Board book)
We just received this gift for Christmas, and I loved it. I could tell right away that it wasn't a book that I wanted to just hand over to my exploratory 18 month old. Although she is very gentle, this book is designed for exploration and curiosity, and I could just see it having some pieces ripped away just out of a toddler's normal zest and enthusiasm.
That being said, we have already enjoyed several hours playing with the book together. She loves to sit on my lap and "explore" the book with me. There are so many things to look at, and open and feel. She loves to "put on the rings" and open the passport. I'm enjoying many more times like this, and then when she is old enough to look at the book by herself it will be in good condition, and she will have learned that books are meant to be read and enjoyed and not ripped up. This way it stays nice, and we also have time together. After all, aren't all books meant to be enjoyed that way?

3.0 out of 5 stars FAB FINDbut not recommended for TODDLERS, September 11, 2003
This review is from: My Granny's Purse (Board book)
o.k. so I think I bought this litte gem of an interactive book more for myself than my 18 mnth old. It would have been something I would of adored as a little girl, with it's pockets of treasures and flaps to pull out with brightly colored pictures of granny and baby. The only problem is that it is NOT DURABLE enough for a toddler. I don't reccomend it for children under 3 yrs old or if your child is a little rough with things. This will not last. It is made out of cardboard and alot of the little flaps are folded so that they can EASILY tear. You'll spend more time gluing the flaps back together than enjoying this great little book. Save it for later or bring out your inner liitle girl!!

5.0 out of 5 stars My 4 year old loves it, June 9, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: My Granny's Purse (Board book)
My 4 year old daughter got this for her birthday and she just loves this great book/purse. I am ordering one for my best friends little girl. This is one of the cutest ideas I have seen in awhile. There are lots of accessories and lots of cute things that the child, mom and grandmother can enjoy. My mom really enjoyed playing with this book with my daughter. I do agree with the other review we will have to be careful not to loose the pieces. I think this would make a great gift for any little girl
