Grandma U
First-time grandmother Molly McCool can't remember the old nursery rhymes and she never did like rocking chairs. Why, she can't even bake a decent cookie But it's never too late to relearn old tricks, so Molly enrolls in Grandma University to brush up on her skills. Here, Molly and her classmates are instructed in the grandmotherly arts of cuddling and diapering, making funny faces, babbling in baby talk, and reading the same picture book over (and over and over) again Molly is quick to learn but is still plagued by doubts: Will good intentions and trips to the zoo be enough? But her fears disappear with the first touch of her newborn grandchild and the surprising realization that she had what it takes to be a grandmother all along.Author Jeanie Franz Ransom offers a humorous and loving tribute to grandmothers everywhere in this warmhearted tale. Lucy Corvino's expressive, comic illustrations capture the hilarious lengths to which grandmothers will go to please and pamper their beloved grandchildren.

Mother's Gift to Daughter...Nana to Grand Ma "D"
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
On March 1,2007 my oldest daughter became a grandmother. Her only son and his wife became the parents of a beautiful baby boy. Remembering the sheer joy I experienced when she made me a grandmother, with the birth of her son 27 years ago, I found this book to be the perfect gift from a mother to a daughter, and now, a great-grandmother to a grandmother! A deasr friend actually sent it to me upon learning of the baby's birth. I simply purchased a copy for my daughter as a Mother's Day gift.
Ransom is delightful

This is a really warm book! Jeanie Franz Ransom has that something special about her gentle humor and sympathetic style that puts Grandma U over the top. You can always tell when a writer truly loves children as opposed to just showcasing a story. I was delighted to follow the rhythm and the emotional flow of this witty situation, and I wouldn't mind seeing Grandma Molly McCool in a whole series. Wish this had been around when I was teaching school. And Lucy Corvino's pictures are a perfect complement, wry and colorful.
Cute for kids, GREAT for grandmas

This is the perfect baby boomer Grandma gift. A grandma-to-be takes classes on all the stuff that's changed since she was a mom--throwaway (exploding) diapers, emailing your grandkids, etc. etc. The pictures are priceless.

If someone you love is about to become a first-time Grandma, this is the book for her! Catchy storyline but the real treat are the illustrations . . . be sure to notice the small details and the expressions. I sense this illustrator has a wonderful sense of humor.
