What Grandmas Can't Do [Hardcover]

Douglas Wood (Author), Doug Cushman (Illustrator)

Book Description

There are lots of things regular people can do, but grandmas can't. Grandmas can't bake your favorite cookies by themselves. And sometimes they can't laugh without tears coming out of their eyes. Grandmas can't let you go to bed without reading you a story -- or six.

But of all the many things grandmas can't do, there's one thing that they can't do best of all; they can't possibly love you more than they already do!

This book captures every essence of a good Grandma. We have the "Moms" and "Dads" version of this book and they are wonderful as well. "What Grandmas Can't Do" is a must-have for all the good Grandmas in the world. It would make a perfect gift for your Grandma or your child's Grandma.

My mom and my mother in law liked this book and thought it was adorable, but some of the things that it talks about are geared toward grandma's that are definitely older and both of them are fairly young grandparents.

My 3.5 yrs old grandson thought this was very funny, and has asked me to reread it to him, but my 6 yrs old granddaughter thought "It was too silly." illustrations are very colorful and fun, and appeal to the young ones who want to read "by myself." This Grandma liked the story and the illustrations.
