 Great book! January 9, 2009
I bought this for my mother so she could fill it out for my son. I gave it to her for Chanukah and she's almost done filling it out! The book is great because there are so many questions it asks to spark memories to share. Just allow yourself enough time to fill out if you're not like my mom.
 Nice book, but not right for me December 8, 2008

I bought 3 different grandparent books to review so I could reorder the best one and give to my parents and parent-in-laws to write in for my son. Here are my thoughts on this one: Positives are that it seems to have enough space to write and the questions seem good. Negatives are no envelope for extra pictures or memories, and not much space for photos (only 2 pages in the book for photos). It is designed to complete in a year, each chapter is a month and there are about 7-10 questions per month (some questions have 2-3 parts). I would recommend Memories For My Grandchild instead, which is what I am going to order and hope it gets here by the holiday.
Beautiful Memory Book December 3, 2008

(review written by Nick's wife) I came across these memory books in a parenting magazine and loved the idea of having my children's grandparents fill them out. I even bought some for my grandparents to fill out for me.
After searching through everything Amazon has to offer, I ended up purchasing a variety of books. I chose Mom, Dad, Grandma and Grandpa, Tell Me Your Memories, A Grandparent's Legacy and Memories for My Grandchild.
A Grandparent's Legacy is probably my favorite of the books I purchased. It is laid out month-by-month with topics to discuss. The book measures 8" x 5" with a nice covered spiral binding and is about .75" thick. Each page has topics to discuss and lines for writing.
I was slightly disappointed in all the Tell Me Your Memory books. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but I really didn't think they would all be the same with a different cover page as they are. I was really disappointed in the size of the books. They are 4" x 5.5" with a 1" spiral binding. Each is about 1" thick. It is laid out for a full calendar year - each day having a different question or memory for the person do write about. The pages have a question at the top and are blank (no lines) below.
Memories for My Grandchild has the most flexible layout - meaning there is no guide for filling things out at a certain time. It is also the largest book, measuring about 8" x 10" and just less than 1" thick. It has a covered spiral binding. This is the only book with a pocket in the back to drop in any special items and a pull-out page to fill in the family tree. The pages in this book are lined as well.
The books all cover similar questions and memories. I haven't gone page-by-page to compare, but have been pleased with what I've seen so far. Since the books are so similar, I'm basing my overall opinion on the appearance and friendliness of the layout.

This is the best book ever!!! My grandmother is 97 years young and she still has such an awesome memory, she was as excited to fill in the book as I was to give it to her! I can't wait to get it back.
a wonderful gift for a grandparent August 29, 2007

I just got this book along with a Mothers Legacy, and a Fathers Legacy. I think these three books are the best things I have bought all year long. I just wished that my grandmother was alive to have done one of these for me. When we are young we do not understand how wonderful grandparents are, and all the information they carry in their minds. This book has a way of getting all of that information out. Simple questions it ask as "what did your family do for family gatherings for Christmas?", "where did you meet grandpa/grandma?" Just questions people seem to never ask until its to late. You have heard of "baby books" well this is just like a baby book but for grandparents. While your at it check out the other two books also. I promise you won't be sad that you did!! One will only wonder "WHY DIDNT I BUY MORE?".
