Great Books to Read (or Give) to Your Grandchildren
I’m the Digi-Gram, right? The Digital Grandmother. The ‘ONE’ who knows technology, uses technology everyday at work, at home, and at play. I know what I’m doing, right? Right . . .
Well, I’ve tried something new, something I’ve never done before. And that is to record a video chat. (I’m experienced in video chat just not the recording of it.) For the most part, things went well. There are a couple of times that my computer screen was pixelated but it only lasts a couple of seconds. Hopefully it’s not too bad. (And, hopefully I’ll figure out what went wrong so it won’t happen again.)
I’ve compressed the movie down from a 7.44 gigabyte movie to a 39.5 megabyte movie. I hope it is not too big for you to download to watch. Please — feel free to give me feedback about your ability to watch the movie (e.g. if it took forever to load). You can send your comments to digigram@grandmaideas.com.
I invited Stephanie Ford, an expert in children’s literature, to share with us a list of books that are good for grandmothers to have in their personal library to read to grandchildren when they come for a visit — or to give as gifts to their grandchildren. Here is Stephanie ’s list that you can print off for your use. She also mentioned an online children’s literature book club that you can check out.
Now. For the video.
Happy reading!

This video and the written list of books were interesting. I watched parts of the video twice when it was hard to understand something. I looked over the list too. I will definitely pick a book from the list to read to my girls.
Nina, you won my monthly give-a-way on http://www.GrandparentingBlog.com Please contact me about this. Thanks, Karen
Karen, I’m sorry I’m slow at responding. (My husband and I have been in Jamaica for 8 days!)
I hope that you’ll find a book that your girls will enjoy. I read the book The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks and think it’s a great book. (One that I wish I had written . . .!!) When your granddaughters are starting into their teen-age years, this would be a great book for them to read — and then to discuss with you.
Thanks for the give-away! It seems like I never win anything!
