Items related to Odes for Grandparents
These delightfully irreverent odes on the ups, downs, and roundabouts of being a grandparent will help grammy and gramps unwind after handing back the little ones at the end of the day
The grandchildren ask about the 'olden days',
When Granny and Granddad were tots.
Do you remember dinosaurs?
Had they invented cots?
The reason it's called "grandparenting" is because it's just like parenting, only better. In being a grandparent you have the best of all possible worlds—you're an honorary kid, while somehow maintaining a modicum of authority. Reveling in the fact that all those years of being a parent have finally paid off, this charming book includes almost 60 odes on the triumphs—and tribulations—of grandparenting. From preparing for a grandchild's arrival in your home to being relieved when you're finally able to send them back again, this book humorously addresses all aspects of being a grandparent.

'a little gem of a book... with short poems and charming pictures, the book makes a perfect bedtime read but works equally well as a book than can be dived into when you need a laugh.' * Primary Times *
