What Are Grandmas Good For?

41 Uses for a Grandma is a delightful book for children.

As a grandmother, what are your uses — beyond wiping drool off a teething baby’s chin, changing poopy diapers, or giving birthday money to a teen-aged grandson?

If you’re not quite sure, read 41 Uses for a Grandma by Harriet Ziefert.  It’s a hoot.

My son and daughter-in-law gave me this book as a belated birthday present.

I was delighted with it.  Totally!

I love the ‘uses.’ They are so clever– a time keeper, a security blanket, a hand warmer, a page turner, a ballet barre.

My favorite is a monkey bar. My muscles are as big as the ones in this picture. Almost!

41 Uses for a Grandma is a delightful book for children.


I also love the drawings. They are absolutely adorable.

When you read this book to your grandchildren, they will laugh and laugh. I guarantee that you will see yourself in many of the situations in the book.

Reading it to grandchildren will be a warm, fuzzy, bonding experience.

Harriet Ziefert, the author, is a grandmother so she knows intimately what grandmothering is all about.

I recommend that you buy this book — and then read it to your grandchildren when they visit.  Or, you could buy a copy and give to your grandchildren.
