Summary: Great Gift for New Grandmom
Review: I bought this book and fell down laughing, so I bought it for all my friends, new grandmas, experienced grandmas, even one grandma-to-be.The author has shared her anecdotes and they are hysterical. In the mix, are tips on grandmothering and advice on how to follow the rules laid down by our grandchildren's parents without losing our minds. If you like humor with an edge, you'll love this book.

Summary: I beg to differ...this book is not that funny
Review: I bought this book, planning to give it to my mother-in-law, who is a grandmother-to-be (I'm 3 months pregnant). It had gotten positive reviews from others, and sounded cute and humorous. After reading it, however, I did not find it cute or humorous. It is basically a collection of one grandmother's anecdotes about two of her grandkids, along with quasi-generalized advice about being a grandmother. I understand that some of the book was meant to be written with a satirical tone, but advice such as, "never let anything bad happen to the kids on your watch...but as we all know bad things happen to good grandmothers...if it's just you and the child, lie," and "check with your grandchildren to make sure you are winning the grandma race [against the child's other grandma]...if...they say they like the other one better, buy them something they've been wanting..." just doesn't strike me as being very funny--more like irresponsible and mean-spirited. I suppose some readers will find this humorous, but this definitely is not my brand of humor.

Summary: Entertaining and educational
Review: Incredible! This book is the perfect gift for the first time grandmother (or for the any time grandmother), and it wouldn't hurt to give it to grandpa, as well. You know that all of the incidents that are described have to be true. They couldn't be anything else. Read it and learn. You cannot find another book that conveys the same message ...
