Grandmothers Are Like Snowflakes...No Two Are Alike: Words of Wisdom, Gentle Advise, & Hilarious O

This is a delightful, easy-read, informative, enjoyable book. I'm awaiting the birth of my first Grandchild and have already quoted from the book, when I have my little "chats" with the little angel in Mommy's tummy! Good advice...great verses...A+

Charming book for grandmas!

The perfect gift for Grandma on her special day! This unique compilation of quotes, poems, lists and observations has been the #1 grandmother gift book for years.

Perfect for New Grandma's

My first grandchild was born on 12/22/99, I got this book at Christmas. It really describes what is the tremendous joy of being a grandma. I read it every few weeks and some of the stories or antedotes take on new meaning as she grows. This is and will continue to be one of my most treasured books and I have hundreds!

Everyone should read this book, not just Grandmothers.

This is a must for everyone, it touched me so deeply, and sure opened a lot of doors and memories that we forgoten. It is such a wonderful gift for a new grandmother, an expectant mother, or a young child. We need more books like this, maybe even one for grandfathers, brothers, sisters, aunts and uncles to name a few. Thank you for such an wonderful book.

The perfect gift for grandma
