• "This hardcover book comes with durable thick pages, to likely stand the test of time."

Cons:

• "Grandmother's journal was a little blah but for the price was okay."
• "The only disappointment was the binding of the book itself was off and misaligned."
• "Overall I really like this book, the idea behind it and the questions/writing prompts included in it. I only gave it 4 stars because the binding on the book makes it feel a little cheap."
• "I had opened one of the grandmother ones and heard some peeling and sure enough the binding was coming off on the very last page that holds the book together."
• "Came with a dent/tear in the binding."
• "But for the cost of each one with errors and then a risk of the packet being glued in upside down I think not."
• "This book is printed upside down."

Content and Prompts

Pros:

• "Love the questions it asks the grandma about their likes and life in general."
• "Very detailed questions for grandmas to fill out to tell their grandchild about the family's history."
• "Neat questions, things you may not think to ask but it will most certainly make enjoyable reading one day for my kids."
• "The prompts are precious and the pages allow for plenty of writing!"
• "There are questions that I can’t wait to know the answers to that I never would have thought to ask."
• "The questions even though simple to answer either left me laughing remembering my childhood or In tears reliving parts of my childhood."
• "The pages are great and filled with lots go guided questions for her to answer."

Cons:

• "I really liked the idea of this, but it refers to the American educational system and, for me, spends a little too much time talking about the person's children / spouse than about the grandparent's life."
• "The only thing I dislike is that it’s specific to one child. If you have more than one child, you just have to modify."
• "Some things are repetitive but not too much at all."
• "Really sweet but there’s a pretty decent sized section that is about baby’s parent not just grandma."
• "It started out fine with questions about my life from birth through adulthood, but then the questions become directed toward only [one] of my 6 adult kids and then it gets directed to [one] of my adult kid's kid as if this 'Grandmother's Journal' is intended for only 1 of my 17 grandchildren."
• "There is a lot of questions about my parents, my children and a specific grandchild. I did not want a book tailored to one child."
• "Only part we don't love was that it was asking questions that wanted to know about her and my dad but they've been divorced for 25 years."

Gift and Sentimental Value

Pros:

• "Beautiful cover I think it’ll make a fantastic book that my daughters can appreciate once their grandma is no longer around."
• "This is a great gift for a first time grandma."
• "She absolutely loved it and it was the best gift she had gotten."
• "This is a wonderful gift idea."
• "My mother-in-law loved this gift and it’s a great keepsake."
• "It's the perfect keepsake for grandparents and grandkids."
• "A beautiful familiar heirloom that can be passed along for generations."
