Comments about A GRANDPARENT'S JOURNAL:

We gave this book to all 4 grandparents this year and the one great grandparent for Christmas. I don't know if they have filled them out yet...but I love the ideas on each page. It will help our kids (and us) learn a lot about these 5 people that are so important to us.

Comments about A GRANDPARENT'S JOURNAL:

It's a cute diary with nice content, but the size was just too small. The price doesn't fit the size. Do not recommend this product.

Comments about A GRANDPARENT'S JOURNAL:

Wonderful idea, great to hand down to a grandchild. We had to buy a 2nd journal, not enough room for BOTH grandparents, especially if you intend to doa good job and write with feeling and meaning.

Comments about A GRANDPARENT'S JOURNAL:

I bought this journal even after reading the other comments about it's size and lack of complexity. For me, it's the perfect memory keeper for my mom to complete for my daughter. While it isn't as in-depth that other people may desire, it's perfect for someone who doesnt' have a lot of time to fill out a 100-page book. My daughter gave it to her G'ma for Christmas and G'ma LOVED it! I'm pretty sure that this is one gift that will get used!

Comments about A GRANDPARENT'S JOURNAL:

Very interesting product and much better than I found at traditional book stores. I ordered the first one for my daughter's grandmother and was very happy with the product when it arrived, so I ordered 3 more. My hope it to have four books for my 2 year old daughter and see how the answers change across generations. Very good quality. Expensive, but worth it for the memories!

Comments about A GRANDPARENT'S JOURNAL:

I think it should be advertised that this is just for one grandparent not both. We ordered another so we both could give one to our first grandchild.
