Book Description

“You speak for all of us who are tearing our hair out about the generation that separates us from our beloved grandchildren.” —Grandma Sally, Moorestown, New Jersey Being a grandmother, writes Bryna Nelson Paston, is not one of life's free choices. “You can pick your pet, your alma mater, and your spouse. You can decide when to have kids and how many, if you're careful. You can be a doctor, lawyer, mountain climber, or plumber. But when and where you become a grandma is your kids' decision.”

Becoming a grandma is like getting a subpoena. You don't expect it. You don't know how to respond. You know you must be mature and accept it. Being a grandma, though, is as close as many of us ever get to perfection. There is only one little problem—the generation in the middle. “Dealing with your child and his or her spouse while you become the most relevant person in your grandchild's life is tricky at best and downright impossible at worst.”

From that unique point of view, Paston has written a delightful book that explains the rules for grandmothers to assure they will be an important part of their grandchildren's lives. “We have a window of opportunity as grandparents,” she writes, “usually five years, or maybe more if you're lucky. So you have to make your move fast and decisively. Your kids and their spouses will intrude, interrupt, and interfere. But persevere. Circumvent them, do exactly what you want, and lie—with dignity, I might add. Whatever it takes. Promise anything, but get the kid.”

How to Be the Perfect Grandma is a humorous, anecdotal gift book for grandmothers, grandmothers-to-be, grandmother wannabes, anyone who has a grandmother—and, of course, grandfathers. FAMILY; GRANDPARENTS ILLUSTRATED 51/2” X 61/2”, 144 PAGES HARDCOVER

5 out of 5 stars Finally - 'Nana' gets it!.......2007-05-18

This little book was very helpful with my frustrations and gave me a better understanding of where my place is. It made me laugh and gave me several ah-ha moments. I was extremely close to my own Mother-in-law, so I couldn't figure out why things were going as they were when my son had children. This is a must have for the Grandma on Daddy's side.

5 out of 5 stars Perfect Mother's Day gift.......2004-05-04

It's the perfect gift for the daughter or daughter-in-law in your life. This amusing and realistic set of incidents illustrates the dynamics of extended family life from a grandmother's viewpoint. It will make the reader laugh and cry. It's more than a one-time read. It's the book you will look at over the years to always find a new insight into living with grandchildren and their parents. "Perfect grandmas" always buy this book for adult children and their spouses.

5 out of 5 stars Great Gift for New Grandmom.......2004-04-13

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.

1 out of 5 stars I beg to differ...this book is not that funny.......2003-09-19

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.

5 out of 5 stars Giggled out loud..................2003-08-20

while reading this book---I didn't put it down once I started...very short reading..only about an hour or two. I especially like the chapter about how being the Mom's Mom gives you automatic rights to the child! Since this is my first Grandchild, and it is my daughter giving bith, I'M IN!!! Loved it!! It is a perfect little book for a Grandma-to-be....I've already passed it along to a few friends.

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful Quilts.......2007-05-13

I love this book a lot of wondeful pattterens and easy to follow

5 out of 5 stars Rug hookers too.......2003-12-22

I sometimes quilt. USually I quilt and then try to make a hooked rug to accompany it. THe good thing about this book is it allows you pick and poke at the full-size templates to create your own era or modern day quilt. I find that inspirational rather than just being a drone and copying.
Another thing I liked, was understanding how fabrics and fabric colours changed over the years. WHile there isn't much descriptive info on it in the book, it's really highlighted and then brought to life on the pages themselves.
All in all, quilters, and hookers who either want to be very traditional or not, should benefit with this book.
And personally, I have found the whole B&H series on quilting
superb.

5 out of 5 stars One of the best quilt books I own...........2003-01-15

Better Homes and Garden books have sure improved since I became disenchanted with them in the 80's. And this is an excellent book no matter if you are a beginner or more accomplished at quilting. It is in an easy to use large spiral book form which makes laying it open as you work on one of the quilts or refer to a procedure for making quilting easier much easier.

It is laid out in a decades genre, where 1830-1860, 0n into 1920-1950 and borders are discussed in excellent detail with clear photos and exact size templates you can copy and use. Since I am fond of the Sunbonnet Sue (page 168) quilt my Grandma Katie made for my bed and dolls cradle I wanted to learn how to make one myself.

I make quilts but they are self designed appliqué types and I wanted to discover the old quilt arts. Although the crazy quilts shown (page 104) come close to what I do.

I personally don't know anyone who wouldn't find this excellent book helpful and being well used. Everytime I start to put the book away I realize that I need it out since I am always doing some type of quilt work....

5 out of 5 stars Delicious family recipes and beautiful photos!.......2006-09-27

I love the Taste of Home cookbooks and magazines! Grandma's Favorites is filled with wonderful recipes. They are "real" recipes....ones that are not hard to make and can be made often. The recipes were submitted by real people who tell about their recipe. They don't have exotic ingredients that are hard to find. Some people will not agree that these are truly "Grandma's" recipes depending on one's idea of the definition; but this book includes 350 great classic family recipes you will want to try and that your family will love! They are easy to read and call for common ingredients and many of the recipes have photos. It is a wonderful addition to any cook's collection!

2 out of 5 stars Whose Grandma cooks like this?.......2006-09-19

I guess I expected more of a "comfort food" book and this is not it. There are a few recipes that would make me think of Grandma's cooking but most are a hodgepodge of standard recipes that probably only bring raves from fellow family members. I was looking forward to getting cozy and having a good read (I read cookbooks for entertainment as much as I cook from them) and I was let down. Do yourself a favor and spend the money and your time gathering your own family recipes and skip this book. Normally I love Taste of Home but this was a let down.

5 out of 5 stars Great memory book.......2007-07-17

My mom first told me about this book - she picked it up at a rummage sale. I decided to buy one for each of our kids' grandparents and send them to them for Christmas. They were all thrilled with the book, and they're excited to fill it out. I can't wait until we get them back this Christmas. It's a great idea for passing along information from one generation to another. We live overseas, and our kids only see their grandparents every-other year, or sooner if they come over to see us. I never knew my grandparents, and I wish I had something like this, sharing their lives with me. I also bought a set for a friend who's son was killed in Iraq, leaving behind a 6-month old son. Since their link to their grandson was gone, they were very touched to have a way to leave their memories for their grandson.

5 out of 5 stars Looking forward to filling in this book.......2007-04-23

Our first grandchild was born one year ago, so I purchased both the Grandma and Grandpa books so husband and I could sit down and fill these out together. He balked at first, but then I asked him if he wouldn't love to have one of these filled out by HIS grandparents, and he agreed this will be time well spent. Very sturdy little book with a wonderful range of questions that are sure to cause old memories to resurface. I hope my grandson and future grandchildren will enjoy reading about us!

The Music Was Great Then!, November 25, 2006
Reviewer: Betty Burks (Knoxville, TN) - See all my reviews

It was a wonderful time to grow up in my hometown. Things were easy for the poor and rich, as we were equal in the talent contests and given a chance with or without a mother there pushing for her kid. Dean Martin was one of the best singers, but Eddie Fisher was my singer and I was president of "The Fisher Notes." I wrote a review of his latest memoir which is not NTA, meaning no one can read or vote one way or the other. I put a lot of effort in my reviews, so here it is:

Janet Dailey now lives in Branson, Missouri, the place Deana Martin also calls her new hometown.

Dean Martin was successful in the Fifties.

A Devoted Daughter?, August 25, 2006

Never Say Never Is A Good Motto., August 25, 2006
Reviewer: Betty Burks (Knoxville, TN) - See all my reviews

Writing is magical. The empty page is where you start to put together the disparate parts of your life. Once you put it down on paper, you can figure out how all your plans can start to come together. This is a fairytale of a little girl who never growed up. She lived with her mother in a big house in a fancy neighborhood in Pasadena. Her father had a fanciful career in movies and on television; his downfall was not drinking, as we were led to believe, but Lainze Kazan on one of his musical review shows. She was a regular and he certainly perked up and his eyes would light up when he talked about how beautfiul she was. He was part of a duo which dissolved, and he was much better on screen without his partner. Part of the Rat Pack, a broup of irrational performers in Las Vegas, he lost himself and became a bum. If you believe that this book was written out of love or devotion, you are absolutely wrong. She used it merely to get on a radio network who panders to half-way talent and has-beens to make a career on the back of her famous father.

His son wrote 'That's Amore" another of his songs. His didn't sell well, as this one did not. It was given away on that same network where they have appointed a "host" which just shows how far it has fallen. She would not be deemed a singer with another name. He died in dire circumstances with no family support, and it is a shame this writer has to stoop to obtaining a career on the demise of a famous singer. Maybe he would sit up and appauld, but I think he would turn in his grave at the injustice of this travesty. Since my first review was lost, this is just a resume. Too bad you couldn't read what I said.

She has made a career off of her dad's fame and has just about taken over MYL. She is a fraud with very little talent, certainly is not a star like her dad she abandoned and never will be. If she were so great, why on earth is she stuck in Branson, Missouri, answer me that! She is making tons of money off her dead dad and he is not here to defend himself. It's a dirty shame.

The Fifties were good to Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Eddie Fisher and other male singers; females didn't do so well. But it was a grand time to grown up and go off to college. Life was worthwhile then, not as the poor verses the rich in today's world.

5 out of 5 stars A wonderful gift to give.......2006-08-06

My grandson and his wife gave me this book last Christmas and i have had a ball writing in it. I have since purchased 7 copies to give to my children and friends and everyone says they are finding it very entertaining to be reminded of their childhood and growing up years.

5 out of 5 stars treasured.......2005-10-01

i gave this to my grandmother when i was in college. she past away soon after i graduated, but this book is a wonderful keepsake. everytime i pull it out it brings back great memories. i only wish that i had gotten it for her sooner so that she could have finished it. the questions are about her past, things that i would have never known. love it and will cherish it forever!!

Book Description

Award winning book eases challenges of distributing personal possessions.

"As executor for my mother's estate, I needed help. I never expected by sisters to act the way they did! This information helped us sort out what we wanted, talk about what we thought was fair, and consider different options. It wasn't easy, but we are still talking."

When emotions take over, the division of a loved one's personal possessions can turn ugly and even destroy family relationships. There is another way. A better way. With the award winning book, "Who Gets Grandma's Yellow Pie Plate?" readers are shown a new positive way to transfer non-titled property.

Whether planning ahead or making decisions when someone dies, this book will help family members create distribution options that feel "fair" for everyone. It is a must read for everyone--spouses, adult children, siblings and grandchildren.

Readers learn immediately how to identify and understand the special significance and value of belongings. This process often results in suprises. Using the authors' suggestions the process can become a celebration of a person's life rather than a family nightmare.

The "Who Gets Grandma's Yellow Pie Plate?" Workbook is a warm, wonderful, practical and down-to-earth guidebook for every family. It really impressed me with its sensible and gentle honesty. My brother and sister and I got through the deaths of our parents without any tug-of-wars over family keepsakes. And still I wish we would have had this book. It would have helped us get the full measure of joy and memories out of the things our parents left behind. Everybody will need this book sooner or later. I'd recommend getting it sooner.

Book Description

It is hard to know who looks forward to a new baby more, an expectant parent or an expectant grandmother. From the time the announcement is made, a grandma-to-be may be full of questions: "Aren't I too young for this? Or maybe too old? What will they call me? Will they need me, or resent my 'help'? Can I really do this?"

So You're Going to Be a Grandma! offers the perfect reassurance in the form of a delightful poem that covers all the doubts and questions, joys and successes as a new grandma proves to be a godsend to her new grandchild and its parents:

"Baby weeps and so does mother,

Daddy isn't far behind,

Both so nervous and exhausted

This is where a grandma shines."

Readers of For Better or For Worse will recognize new Grandma Elly as well as her son, Mike, and his wife, Deanna, and appreciate the inclusion of families of various ethnicities in these heartwarming drawings. So You're Going to Be a Grandma! perfectly celebrates the universal love of a grandchild.

5 out of 5 stars Another Great book ..........2007-03-30

Another Great book to visit the Patterson's with. "For Better / For Worse" has to be one of the best comic strips of all time. It really makes you think, "They are just like my family", and if you do not have kids, read the books so you know what to prepare for.

5 out of 5 stars Children's Book.......2007-03-12

I collect paperback comic books - as opposed to "magazine" style - and, normally this would have been a delight, but this is a childrens' book; I was expecting a book roughly 100+ pages long, and this is a tiny one - not at all what I expected. My error though; I'll contribute to the local Children's Hospital, so that everyone wins!

5 out of 5 stars So You're going to be a grandma.......2006-03-11

It is a cute view for first time grandmothers. Something you can really relate to. Great Gift!!!

2 out of 5 stars SMALL book.......2005-10-01

I love reading For Better or For Worse and buy the new ones whenever I find one but this book was small in size and only had a few sentences on every other page. I want more reading and laughs for $7.00 a copy.

3 out of 5 stars This is not a comic book!.......2005-06-03

I got this book thinking it was a comic book. I obviously didn't read the description carefully enough. This is basically a long poem about being a grandmother. I was disappointed at first, but not I think I'll give it to my mom when she becomes a grandma for the first time. I do think that it needs to be clear that this is not a comic. It is simply a poem that is illustrated with FBOW characters.

5 out of 5 stars This is a deeper book than you'd think........2007-08-31

My 3 year old granddaughter first introduced this book to me while I was at her house for a visit awaiting the birth of her new little sister. My first thought was, "well it's a board book so it'll be too simple for it to be good"... I read it the first night at bedtime, then the second night, then the third night and it continued on for the entire month I was there! LOL....sure we both knew it by heart very quickly and would read it out loud together, but that was half the fun. I'd do funny voices when I read it and sometimes changed a few of the words to kind of mix it up...But she enjoyed it so very much EVERY time. When I got back to the state where I live, I bought my own copy (just because I'm a kid at heart and I wanted to have something tangible of those beautiful reading memories with her.) I was further rewarded one day when she was having a hard time taking her afternoon nap. When my daughter called, I asked if I could talk to my little "Peanut"...I told her to go get her book and I would read it to her and she had to follow along and open all the little flaps. She did of course and she giggled the whole way through as if it were the first time she was hearing it. It was another priceless moment for this grandma...and she didn't have any trouble going down for her nap after that either. It's amazing what will capture a little ones attention. Sometimes we adults make things too complicated. As for me, I love to see things through the eyes of a child.

5 out of 5 stars A Must-Have for Interactive Reading.......2007-09-20

These books are a must-have for all babies! The artwork is adorably colorful, and the interactivity of the flaps makes reading more fun; it gives baby something to do while you read.

5 out of 5 stars Great books.......2007-05-25

Our daughter fell in love with these books around 6 or 7 monhts and still gets excited and selects them over others at 14 months. She has learned so much through them too! We have many of Katz board books with the flaps, and are so happy the author is so prolific. Our daughter likes them all, but the 4 here are her favorites (and "What Does Baby Say?"). Keep them coming!

5 out of 5 stars Great for the family.......2007-05-21

These books are a great way for everyone in the family to feel appreciated and loved. They make the reader (grandmother for example) feel even more special. I love them.
They're also sturdy enough for my 9 month old to play with and chew on. These aren't his favorite books (that's Violet's House) but they're still great.

And I love that it's cheaper to buy the set than it is to buy the books individually! :) I love book sets.

5 out of 5 stars karen katz books.......2007-03-21

My daughter is 14 months old and she LOVES these flap books. She has many books, but these are her absolute favorite. We have several sets in fact. I carry them with us in the diaper bag...there are some in the car...at Grandma's house....she never gets bored with them. We read them several times a day!!!

Was happy with the book. Wish it would have come before Mother's Day, but still enjoyed the book.

5 out of 5 stars I finally found it!.......2007-05-13

My Grandma loves the chicken soup books. I knew there was one for Grandma's, but couldn't find it anywhere. I found it on Amazon and gave it to her for Christmas. She loved it.

5 out of 5 stars This book honors grandmothers and grandchildren alike........2005-12-18

Chicken Soup for the Grandma's Soul is a sentimental treasury of memories gleaned from the hearts of grandmothers. This book will make you laugh and make you cry as you read about real life experiences as only a grandma can relay. What a wonderful book for the new grandma or the grandma with a dozen grandchildren. This book is a legacy for grandchildren, written by those who love them in a special way: the grandmas.

5 out of 5 stars Lovely.......2005-10-17

This book was purchased for my mother, who called to ask me why I gave her a book that would make her cry! Actually, she loved it. It's a great book, as are the so many other in this series. The only complaint I have is that eventually the book ends.

Book Description

Little Critter and his grandmother spend the day at the beach in this funny-and-true picture book about Mercer Mayer's popular character. Little Critter is a good helper, even at the beach. When his grandmother's hot dog falls in the sand, he washes it off in the ocean. He promises to blow up the inflatable seahorse but needs a little help in the end. The joys and mishaps of a special summer day with Grandma are all brightened by Little Critter's sunny disposition.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars cute and fun.......2006-01-18

This book is cute because (as always) Little Critter tells the story, and what Little Critter says is not quite what Little Critter does - and the kids catch on. For example, he drops the hot dogs in the sand and cleans them off by rinsing them in the ocean. He thinks this is fine - Grandma does not look convinced. And his description of his own swimming abilities does not match the frightened Critter wearing a floaty and clinging to his Grandma in the picture.

This book always gets laughs from my 4 year old and she loves pointing out the things that aren't quite right.

2 out of 5 stars Not a Great Book.......2005-05-08

I was a little surprised by the content of this book. It is really not a book I would recommend. It is about a Grandma who takes her grandkid to the beach and nothing goes right. Then it ends. I thought it could have been more meaningful.

5 out of 5 stars Just Grandma and Me.......2004-02-16

This CD has a delightful story of a day at the beach with Grandma and grandson. The text comes in English, German, Spanish and French. All text can be re-read by clicking on the chosen sentence. There are stickers for each page to click and drag including the word read aloud for each sticker plus animated responses when the sticker is correctly placed. There is a great sandcastle at the end that allows for individual creativity and a few starter castles. The music and animation are enchanting. My grandson enjoys it for hours at a time.

3 out of 5 stars Just grandma and me.......2003-09-26

Just grandma and me is about this little kid that wants to have a fun time with his grandma at the beach. They go to the beach and try to have a fun time. The little kid does stuff that end up beginning well but ending bad. The lesson it teaches is that you can be having a good day or a bad day but you will still be grandma little grandson and you will always be in her heart. Yes it was a good book. The age level is pretty much around 1st and 2nd grade.

4 out of 5 stars A review!.......2002-12-10

Just Grandma and me was a great book I liked reading when I was growing up. It wasn't to hard and it wasn't to easy. Most kids in first grade could most likely read it. They will love it if they like spending time with there grandma. It reminded me in some ways because I know I love spending time with my grandma. In the story Critter and his grandma spend time together at the beach. They do stuff together like me and my grandma do. It is a good book for beginners.
