Grandma, Tell Me Your Memories
M**.
Mother's Day Gift
I bought this for my son's paternal great-grandmother for Mother's Day so that she can leave memories for my son (her only great-grandchild). It's pretty and good quality. It has a small area for an answer for each day of a year, starting with the date and place of birth on January 1, in a list format. That was my only problem with it. Her cat liked the book more than she did and was quickly turning the pages and sniffing them.

Love the setup & questions
I like that it's a question a day, has plenty of room for responses and covers a wide variety of topics. It's the best setup I could find and have bought copies for multiple people.

Good way to write brief memories
I did like every day had some questions that could bring up memories that could mean a few giggles. Such as best memories of your grandparents, best trip, something that really mattered in your life that is worth passing down.The only thing I would add is some picture pages of various sizes; 3x5s, 4x6s, and perhaps a couple 8x10s.

Great Idea for a Gift

It was good
Some of the questions are repetitive or really out there ๐. For the most part, it was a good calendar. I used it to help my grandma with Alzheimerโs

Smaller than expected
(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 bought Mom, Dad, Grandma and Grandpa, Tell Me Your Memories. 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.The other books I decided to purchase are: A Grandparent's Legacy and Memories for My Grandchild. A Grandparent's Legacy 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. 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. My favorite would have to be A Grandparent's Legacy.

Fun book
I purchased this book for my former mother in law. The kids and I couldn't agree on a gift so we agreed that they chose one without my vote and I chose one without their vote. This was my choice. I wanted something that their grandmother could share with them for years to come. We gave it to her as a family gift and she loves it. It ask fun questions about her past. I am sure there are questions she may chose not to answer or may not have an answer to but it will be fun for her to share with her grandkids when the book is finished. She liked it so much and now the kids are excited to see what she wrote in it, that we all agree we will get the Grandpa version for Father's Day to give to Grandpa

110% worth it!
Absolutely love this! I bought just about every kind I could for each of my daughters grandparents, and for myself as well.It is going to be something for my daughter to treasure as she grows up and family members slowly pass. I wish I had this with relatives that are already gone. If you are all about your child knowing their relatives and their lives when younger even. Order this now you wonโt regret it! Did i mention the price is so cheap compared to the stories your child will get to read about their loved ones!?I will add itโs also extremely easy for the person that is writing in it. It has one question per day so itโs not overwhelming. It also helps you look back on good memories!!

Very special to have!
Not the greatest quality... (The cover has already ripped halfway off from travel), but I definitely don't regret this purchase!My grandma is 88 years old and so she grew up in a time that was so much different from the world I grew up in! (I'm 26) As I read through her experiences and memories of the past, I'm in awe of how quickly the world has changed!!I look forward to sharing this with my own daughters some day :)
