Rating: Summary: Easy to follow - great reference Review: A friend told me of this book she had received as a gift for her 50th birthday. I was thrilled to see that finally there is a book for us "younger grandparents"
Rating: Summary: FINALLY! Review: Finally there's a book that helps ME understand what it is MY kids are talking about when they're talking about THEIR kids! This book is really helpful -- plus it's really fun and easy to read! I'm going to buy extra copies as Christmas gifts for my Boomer friends!!
Rating: Summary: Great tips. Lots of fun. A must have for any new grandparent Review: I really enjoyed this book. I hadn't been able to find a book about grandparenting in the 90's that really spoke to me until I read this one. I encourage any soon-to-be grandparents to read it.
Rating: Summary: Great Reference Book! Review: If you have incredible guilt over the way you raised your children or have amnesia about that experience, this is the book for you. The authors seem to assume that we all fit the stereotype of 60s boomers and need to remake ourselves as grandparents. From a quote on p 19, "Through grandparenthood, we are now convinced that we have a reprieve, a dispensation from God. We have another chance to help rear children." Isn't the role of rearing the children that of the parents?!There are some useful insights in this book, but they are few and far between. Find the book in a library and turn to the resources in the appendix.

Rating: Summary: Best Grandparenting Book I've Seen - New Hampshire reader Review: The Nanas and the Papas is the best one-stop-shopping book on grandparenting, whether you're a baby boomer or not. It's loaded with great tips and advice applicable to both nuclear and blended families. The real-life anecdotes are excellent. This is a very well researched book that covers all the bases. The Zullos have done a thorough job.
Rating: Summary: Great Reference Book! Review: We never thought we'd fit into the the old stodgy grandparent mold, so this book was a must-have for us "boomer" grandparents. Very informative and easy to read.
