Editorial Review
Smart, warm, telling, and funny, Funny, Your Don't Look Like a Grandmother is the perfect bouquet for today's grandmother, that active and interesting woman who is old enough to be somebody's grandmother and young enough to run around the world.

Lois Wyse's new book, charmingly illustrated by Lilla Rogers, is a collection of wit and wisdom for today's Nana, Grandma, Goo-Goo, or Gran.

How can you recognize today's grandmother?

Easy, says Wyse.

The grandmother is the one who goes out more and complains less than her daughter. In the spirit of Erma Bombeck and Bill Cosby, Lois Wyse tells loving and amusing stories that illustrate the joys of contemporary grandmothering.

According to Lois Wyse, "A mother becomes a true grandmother the day she stops noticing the terrible things her children do because she is so enchanted with the wonderful things her grandchildren do."

Contemporary grandmothers and their children and grandchildren will see themselves in these reflections of family life that include everything from how it feels to become a grandmother to gentle advice on parenting and career grandmothers.

Funny, You Don't Look Like a Grandmother is the first nontraditional book about grandmothers who may not look like grandmothers -- but who love as deeply as the generations of grannies who preceded them.

A fun bit of light entertainment

I enjoyed the book for light entertainment. Best read in short segments. A fun little read.

For Every Grandmother

2006-02-17
A very quick reading book , but by far one of the funniest I read. It's a book for all grandmothers everywhere and when the grandmothers are finished pass on to your daughters who will also enjoy the read. It hit home in so many ways, with truths that moms and daughters everywhere share as they grow up together. Just an enjoyable hour well spent reading why I love being a grandmother (well really a grandjoy)
I knew before I read this book what my role as a grandmother was but this little book proved it.

Another great gift...

This book is cute, with a few good ideas, but it could be improved upon.

This is really cute!

I got this as a gift for my mom, since she's a new grandma and it's VERY cute. I think it makes a great gift for mom's who are shocked that suddently they're GRANDmoms.

Gift for my mom

I sent this to my mom for mother's day as a gift from my twins, who aren't born yet. She poured through it within a matter of days and said she loved it.

Bought this for my mother, and decided to read it after her.
Very well written, and mom was very pleased as well.

The Fun About Being A Grandmother

2007-02-01
This is a laugh-out-loud book but with capturing the deep emotins of becoming a grandmother at the same time. Ms Wyse has certainly captured the modern style of being a grandmother and made her come to life. I have given it to each of my friends as they announce they are going to be a grandmother.I also reread it from time to time just to see how I am doing as a grandmother and what might come next.

I bought this book for my friend to take for the drive down to see her brand new grandson-to-be. She said she cried and she laughed and it brought back so many memories.
