Grandma U

The book was in the shape promised and was mailed in a timely manner. Thank you!

Mother's Gift to Daughter...Nana to Grand Ma "D"

On March 1,2007 my oldest daughter became a grandmother. Her only son and his wife became the parents of a beautiful baby boy. Remembering the sheer joy I experienced when she made me a grandmother, with the birth of her son 27 years ago, I found this book to be the perfect gift from a mother to a daughter, and now, a great-grandmother to a grandmother! A deasr friend actually sent it to me upon learning of the baby's birth. I simply purchased a copy for my daughter as a Mother's Day gift.

Ransom is delightful

This is a really warm book! Jeanie Franz Ransom has that something special about her gentle humor and sympathetic style that puts Grandma U over the top. You can always tell when a writer truly loves children as opposed to just showcasing a story. I was delighted to follow the rhythm and the emotional flow of this witty situation, and I wouldn't mind seeing Grandma Molly McCool in a whole series. Wish this had been around when I was teaching school. And Lucy Corvino's pictures are a perfect complement, wry and colorful.

Cute for kids, GREAT for grandmas

This is the perfect baby boomer Grandma gift. A grandma-to-be takes classes on all the stuff that's changed since she was a mom--throwaway (exploding) diapers, emailing your grandkids, etc. etc. The pictures are priceless.

Gift for Grandma

If someone you love is about to become a first-time Grandma, this is the book for her! Catchy storyline but the real treat are the illustrations . . . be sure to notice the small details and the expressions. I sense this illustrator has a wonderful sense of humor.
