chicken soup for the grandparents soul

Inspiring Grandparents and their Loved Ones

Thanks for another great book in the "Soup" series. We grandparents appreciate you celebrating us with this special book. We all need inspiration, and this book helps us all, whether we are a grandparent or not.

I'm a grandfather (of five) and I simply loved this book!

I just don't know how the Chicken Soup people keep putting out such great books. There are so many of them and each has about 100 stories. Where do they get all of them? Frankly, after having read three others in the series, i didn't expect this one to be special in any way, but it surprised me alot. I found that the stories had such a wide variety of experiences that grandparents have today --- some that my own grandparents could never have had. I found just a few stories to be 'blah', but on the whole, most of the stories were either really touching or made me laugh out loud. I read several aloud to my children on the phoen becaause they reminded me of 5things that had happened in our house as my kids were growing up.This book is an affirmation of grandparenting.

Chicken Soup for the Grandparent's Soul

This book is about the love and caring of grandparents for their grandchildren. It contains so many heartfelt emotions that were put into words so beautifully that I was touched by them very much. My friend Debby Stoner was a contributor and I was so impressed by her writing skills and how she expressed the depths of her feelings for her grandson. The book was an easy read, supplied me with hours of pleasure and was difficult to put down.

Same quality we expect from Chicken Soup and Alison too.

When going through this volume, I was pleased to see that in addition to the quality of submissions we expect, Alison Peters was one of the contributors! I have recently become familiar with her insightful, witty and warm stories when I purchased Stories for a Teen's Heart and Stories for the Extreme Teen's Heart. Good going Chicken Soup people, you've given us another fine read. Whatever else could we expect?
