A Must Read for Babyboomers, their children and grandchildren
925076
Reunion is a coming of age story in the best tradition of Sherwood Anderson. Set in small town West Virginia in the 1950s, Jim's story is personal, yet universal, as the teenager tries to become a man.  His innocence is challenged by a changing world as Civil Rights, Rock and Roll, and family disfunction define him and his generation. The music references are the soundtrack of a generation's lives. The novel is well written and sincere.

I am so moved by this story. The illustrations are darling.

I have been through a similar situation with my little grandson that passed away  when he was fifteen months old.  He spent the first nine months of his precious life in the hospital. The miracle we experienced was getting to share those fifteen months of his short life with him.  He smiled and laughed all the time. It is the hardest thing for a family to go through when you have a sick child.

Love and cherish your children!  Have you told your child you love them today?

What are some ways you can actually show them how much you love them?

I have fourteen grandchildren with one more due in July.  The most fun I have with my kids and grandkids are when we are all together at the same time.

Do you have something special you do with your child?

How do you share GOD'S love with them?

When my grandchildren stay over we have a special prayer time before we go to bed when we are all tucked in. Some on air mattresses some in the bed with me.  They all know how much GOD loves them.  Some of them remember when their young cousin passed away and make comments about him being in Heaven with God not suffering anymore.

Don't let all of this make you think this is a sad story because it isn't.  This is a story about MIRACLES and LOVE

As a grandmother, I highly recommend this book to help not only children, but also parents understand the process of children losing their baby teeth, growing their permanent teeth and their general dental health. Children don't come with "instruction manuals" and both children and parents have many questions as the child grows. Dr. Dyken has answered so many of those questions regarding erupting teeth and what to expect. The book is in two formats, one for the child and one for the parent. It is an easy read, both for the parent and the child. Do yourself and your child a favor and get "The Tooth Fairy Helper". It will answer so many questions as well as provide a great deal of information, all without having to read a long technical book.

This is a moving, fun little book for parents to read to their children.  If you know someone who has young children, this is an excellent book to share an important message.  It's an easy reader, and the pictures are delightful.  Way to go to this mother and son team to have put this WONDERFUL book together, and kudos to the publisher for giving us a great book to share with friends and family.  When we have such a hard time these days to find a gift to give with thoughtfulness, this is a great option because it delivers such an important message in such a beautiful way. Everyone with young children should put this at the top of their list to get or to give to others.

Every child should read this book and spend time with their grandparents partaking in life activities. It is true the old ways are the best ways and our grandmothers were the ones who taught us that.

REVIEW

This little children's book is so sweet and creatively written about three grandmas who mean well.  They are all seeking  to be "Best Gift Giving Grandma Around"

and their granddaughter is at the center of their nonsense. Everybody knows that being a grandma is a very important part of a grandchild's life.  the problem here is that three grandmas  has become rivals trying to spoil their grandchild until disaster strikes.  Somehow in all the ado the real gifts that the grandmas could offer but never be bought  are forgotten.  Maybe this lovely little grandchild can get her grandmas on the right track before the material gifts take over.  The best things a grandma can give are hugs and good times together.  These gits can't be bought.  They are free - no charge.  The story is written in rhyme and the colorful illustrations are very entertaining.  Will these grandmas "shop till they drop" before they come to their senses.?  The author wrote a valuable lesson in this book.  The best things in life can't be bought, they're free.  I would recommend this book to every parent, child, grandparents and caregivers.  It's a wonderful children's book.

I was given a complimentary copy of BATTLE OF THE GRANDMAS from the author, Anthonette Klinkerman for my view of the book.

Both my wife and I read this book. Initially, we were interested in the book because we have a three year old. Though technically this is a parenting book, it's our belief that EVERYONE should read this (not just parents), and take to heart Le Billon's experiences and lessons.
Although it felt a tiny bit repetitive at times, I highly recommend this book, and have told many friends about it.

This is not a mystery - no drama - no killing - no bad language...just a wonderful book that should be required for all grandchildren. It is a wonderful reminder for all of us to remember to listen and to cherish our loved one.  Thoroughly wonderful read. I hope to read more by this author.

This book is incredible!!! Every parent should read it, before and after they have a baby. The authors are all TOP experts in the filed and are in touch with what babies and mothers need. If I could buy one for every parent in America I would!!! The authors present a view that counter-acts some of the most damaging baby-care trends and books that parents have followed, not knowing how dangerous they are. HOORAY for this book!!! buy it now - you won't regret it. You'll be thanking these lovely authors  every time you hold, nurse, and nurture your baby, and every time you DON'T follow "cry-it-out" methods.

Preparing My heart for Grandparenting shares many stories from experienced grandparents who have loved,lived and modeled grandparenting with a perspective looking for a future impact with their grandchildren. You can laugh and cry when reading this book. As I read it I was challenged not only from real life stories from other grandparents but from the Bible to make this role a lifetime of learning. The study part of the book brings insight and challenges to make each moment spent with our grandchildren a time "more than babysitting" but a time of legacy building.

Since it first came off the press many of my friends, as well as myself, have read and re-read this wonderful book.  It is so full of ideas from the cradle to adolescence and the fact that the ideas come from all over the world makes it universal as well as interesting reading.  I like that the author often included her own tips on how to implement the ideas.  I also liked the use of icons that introduced each suggestion relative to cost of the ideas and whether it was creaticve, atheletic, musical etc. This gives the reader a good "heads-up" before reading the idea.  I think this book is a must-for mothers as well as grandmothers.

I absolutely loved this book! I'm an avid reader and could not put it down, several times I was laughing so hard I had to stop to read to my husband who also enjoyed Jill's writing. It's absolutely refreshing to read a book about parenting that doesn't package it up with beautiful wrapping paper and place a bow on it, when real honest parents know that a child will just come along a shred that pretty paper to toss aside like it never existed. I love my children more than life itself,  but I am a human, and this book gave me quite a bit of confidence that my humanity is normal.

I highly recommend this for all parents,  grandparents,  and people trying or thinking about conceiving!!
