What a cute little book, I am all set to be a grandma now!

This is a big book, a refresher course of sorts with fairy tales, poems, games, crafts and recipes to assist Grandmas with ideas to occupy the wee ones. The illustrations are decidedly old-fashioned which may appeal to grandmas but not as much to children.
Closer editing would have helped as I caught several errors of spelling, grammar and sentence structure in my reading.
This would make a terrific gift for a new grandma.

Quite the collection of stories, poems, quotes, songs, games, fingerplays, crafts, recipes, etc., a collection that would make our own grandmothers beam. A little shy on practical instructions for some of the activities, and the one for home-made paper is faulty (having done this a few times myself), but by and large it's a treasure trove of grandmotherly delights.

What an amazing and fun-filled book that is just perfect to give as a gift to any grandmother, especially a new grandmother. The book has delightful pictures and is full of fairy tales, poetry, activities, songs, nursery rhymes, games, recipes, and stories.

A lot of reminiscing! I use a lot of the ideas by writing them in cards and letters to my grandchildren. They love it!
I wish I could put a picture of the proper book cover on here. It’s a beautiful baby on a light blue background. This ISBN # is for the Second Edition edited by Lena Tabori and Alice Wong. Designed by Timothy Shaner. Printed in China.

It's all a little random. You can get the same stuff only better using a good cookbook, a great Children's Poetry book, and some good fairy tale books.

Being a grandma and a former teacher, I thoroughly enjoyed all the stories, songs and poems that grandmas have used through the years! "This little piggy..."
