The Fun About Being A Grandmother

This is a laugh-out-loud book but with capturing the deep emotins of becoming a grandmother at the same time. Ms Wyse has certainly captured the modern style of being a grandmother and made her come to life. I have given it to each of my friends as they announce they are going to be a grandmother.I also reread it from time to time just to see how I am doing as a grandmother and what might come next.

Another great gift...

Purchased this for the wife of a business associate who was becoming a grandmother for the first. She loved it!

Wonderful book

I bought this book as a gift for my Mother-in-law & she loves it! I have often told her she doesnt look like a Grandmother & thought this would be a cute book.I flipped through it & found so many funny & inspiring stories that i had to read it as well. And i am not a Grandmother!This book is for anyone who will enjoy touching stories that you'll remember & if you would like a laugh.

Cute illustrations....

Today's grandmother is hardly old enough to be a grandmother. We envision grandmothers as those who bake apple pie, spend the day ironing, and are at least 55. These days it is hardly unusual to be a grandmother before you are forty. The contemporary grandmother may in fact drive a red convertible, be so young she doesn't want to hear the word grandmother and may feel as though she perhaps isn't ready to be a grandmother. Lois Wyse offers humorous stories to explain the happy days of being a grandmother in this day and age. This is the perfect gift for a contemporary grandmother as it is filled with a heartwarming collection of wit and wisdom the whole family will enjoy reading. Reflections on "What we name our grandmother,"."The secret no grandmother ever tells," "On the road with grams," and many more stories illustrate the joy of being a modern grandmother. Microwave Apple Pie anyone? ~The Rebecca Review
