Being a grandma made it more fun to read this book and could relate to the comments.
You've gotta love the wobbly bottom ...

My 3yo daughter and I love to read this book together. The pictures are fantastic and I find the text poignant as well as funny as my daughter has recently lost her grandpa too. On a lighter note, it is good to see the the term "wobbly bottom" being introduced into my daughter's vocabulary.

A very cute story that does an excellent job of erasing the stereotypical view of "grannies". As the book explains, grannies can be all different shapes and sizes and enjoy a variety of activities. This would be a good book to explain individual differences as well as unique qualities. The wonderful illustrations of watercolor add extra warmth and humor to this fun-loved story!
Wonderfully Funny

I read this book to my preschool class during a unit on families. After I read it I knew immediately that I had to buy this book for my mother who has 5 grandchildren. I can't wait to give it to her this Christmas from my children. I know she is going to love it! The illustrations are beautiful and the story is just as wonderful.
A touching, humorous, gentle desc. of differences & love

I thoroughly enjoyed this book when reading it to my Grandchildren and my adult friends, but I found myself in 'book heaven' when sitting with my 6 year old Granddaughter while she read the book to me. This is a wonderful book to describe differences in people, their lifestyles, sizes, interests, careers and ways of expressing affection. The illustrations are perfect. I think this book makes a perfect gift for new Grandparents.
