Not what I expected
From reading others reviews I thought this would be a perfect gift for our parents. When I read it I thought the poem through out was kind of goofy. I thought it would be a book ABOUT grandparents that would be cute to read to the grandkids. It was more for grandparents and I didn't think it would keep my kids entertained & I couldn't see our parents sitting down to read and re-read this book. I'm sure it's perfect for some, but it wasn't what I had expected...the book was returned.
