Ain't Life Grand!: A Treasury for Grandmothers Kindle Edition

by Mary Engelbreit (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
5.0 5.0 out of 5 stars 17 ratings
See all formats and editions

I compiled this book as a tribute to grandmothers both new and 'experienced.' Families just wouldn't be complete without them." --Mary Engelbreit

Lauded by the Wall Street Journal for creating a "vast empire of cuteness" and dubbed "a Norman Rockwell for our times" by People magazine, Mary Engelbreit offers the perfect gift for grandmothers by pairing her signature art with quotes, poems, and short narratives honoring grandmothers of all ages. A sampling of passages includes:

* "A grandmother pretends she doesn't know who you are on Halloween." -Erma Bombeck

* "When grandparents enter the door, discipline flies out the window." --Ogden Nash

There are just so many entries in this little book that seem to say all the right things about just being a grandmother. It IS a special time for us and I plan to buy a few more copies and share them with my friends who are also grannies!

Mary Engelbreit's works are incomparable and this book has to be her crown jewel! I'd recommend this little book for the illustrations alone, but the stories, anecdotes, proverbs, and etc. that make up the book are priceless! Mary is in a league with Tasha Tudor. Wouldn't you just love to sit down and enjoy a cup of tea with them?!The book arrived in perfect condition. What more can I say, other than to quote Mary herself: "Buy it! Buy it!" :)
