This book is a perfect gift for anyone you know that is going to be a grandmother or is already a grandmother. If you are invited to a baby shower, take along this extra little book for the mother of the mother-to-be. She will LOVE it!!!

I bought this book as gifts for my mother and mother-in-law and couldn't have been happier with it. It is full of colorful, vibrant pictures and the words truly capture what a Grandmother is all about. Any Grandma would love this book!

I thought this was a very cute idea. And my mother in law seemed to really injoy it. However I was slightly annoyed by how small the book was. It's definately not the best size for a gift. Very cute though!

This is a gift for a friend who just found out she is going to be a grandma. I love it. The pictures are endearing and a positive encouragement during this exciting time. I'm happy to give this as a thoughtful gift.

I bought this book because I was becoming a grandmother for the first time and very excited about it. It is a cute little book with cute little sayings in it. My husband bought me a Mary Engelbreit calendar for this year and ever since I received that, I have just loved her artwork and wonderful quotes and sayings.

I bought this for my cousin who is having her very first grandchild. I loved it, the graphics and the quotes are just adorable. It is nice to have this in additional copies for wishing a new grandmother well waiting for the arrival of grandkids. It was a small book but still well done. Another addition to our family's Mary Engelbreit book collection. Her work appeals to grown ups as well as children.

It is a very cute, delightful book to give as a gift to a new Grandmother. I received a cup & saucer with the same inscription by Mary Engelbreit but I was unable to locate one. I loved the book, but I would have preferred the cup & saucer.

I thought there would be some kind of cutesy story in this book or at least catchy quotes, but I found neither. The book is really small and you'll be done with it in about 5 minutes at most. Seriously not worth the $[...] bucks i spent. If you plan on letting someone know that they are about to become a nana then, yeah, I suppose this would be fine. Other than that please save your money and buy something with an imagination.
