Grandpa, Tell Me Your Memories

I bought this book when my dad got sick with stage 4 cancer. I was pregnant with my youngest and wanted to make sure he knew his grandpa just like we all do. My dad went above and beyond making this the most special book I own. I am so glad our family has these beautiful memories all thanks to this book.

My fathers husband has beginning stages of Alzheimer and we wanted to get Papas memories on paper as soon as we could and this book is helping us do just that. There are some odd memory questions in this book, we think it just adds to the fun of learning more about Papa. Some of the questions have made us think of other questions and/or gotten Papa to dig a little deeper in to his memory. A few have nothing to do with our Papa but we just skip by those. Hard to create a memory book that fits everyone. We really like this! Only thing I would make different is to make this book bigger! It is paper and if not treated with care will not last long. But we love our Papa and this book will be treated with great respect, so his great grand children will be able to know more about this man, husband, father and great grandfather!

This is a wonderful gift to give your father or grandfather. Basically, this book contains many questions and pages for Grandpa to answer and pass down to his grandkids. It's something the grandkids can read whenever and get a great understanding of the person their grandfather is. It might seem a little morbid at first, but having something written down is a great suppliment to all the great times the child will have with his grandfather. Please note, however, that in order to get hundreds of memories into one small spiral bound paperback book, it is not as substantial and sturdy as some of the other memory books. Though I think it is a good trade-off.

My grandmother passed away the end of May (2016) and I had purchased a book like this for her a few years back. Shortly after, she had a stroke, and wasn't able to write very well. When she got sick, my mother gave me this book back, and many of the pages were left blank. I feel like there are so many memories that are now gone, questions I will never have answers for. I am determined to prevent that from happening again and purchased a book for my parents, step parents, my in-laws, and my husband and I. I am hoping to have them filled out entirely so my children will have a keepsake for after we are gone. All the books (grandpa, grandma, mother, father, etc.) are the same - 365 pages of the same questions - however questions you might never think of asking a loved one. I am excited to get the books finished and look forward to having my boys read them when they are older.

(review written by Nick's wife) I came across these memory books in a parenting magazine and loved the idea of having my children's grandparents fill them out. I even bought some for my grandparents to fill out for me. After searching through everything Amazon has to offer, I ended up purchasing a variety of books. I bought Mom, Dad, Grandma and Grandpa, Tell Me Your Memories. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but I really didn't think they would all be the same with a different cover page as they are. I was really disappointed in the size of the books. They are 4" x 5.5" with a 1" spiral binding. Each is about 1" thick. It is laid out for a full calendar year - each day having a different question or memory for the person do write about. The pages have a question at the top and are blank (no lines) below. The other books I decided to purchase are: A Grandparent's Legacy and Memories for My Grandchild. A Grandparent's Legacy is laid out month-by-month with topics to discuss. The book measures 8" x 5" with a nice covered spiral binding and is about .75" thick. Each page has topics to discuss and lines for writing. Memories for My Grandchild has the most flexible layout - meaning there is no guide for filling things out at a certain time. It is also the largest book, measuring about 8" x 10" and just less than 1" thick. It has a covered spiral binding. This is the only book with a pocket in the back to drop in any special items and a pull-out page to fill in the family tree. The pages in this book are lined as well. The books all cover similar questions and memories. I haven't gone page-by-page to compare, but have been pleased with what I've seen so far. Since the books are so similar, I'm basing my overall opinion on the appearance. My favorite would have to be A Grandparent's Legacy.

Very cute, and great questions. The covers are a little flimsy but it’s a great concept. I got this to give to my Dad for Christmas since he always says he wants to write all of Grandparent’s memories down.

This book looks small but it's packed with so many questions. I bought this as a gift my dad enjoyed filling it out and said it helped bring back memories he hadn't thought of in years. Perfect gift for loved ones . We gave as a gift and got it back filled out for christmas. Buy this don't hesitate

This is my second Memories Book, it was both a pleasure and a sorrow to fill in the pages; a pleasure because my Granddaughter now has a look into what my life was like as I was growing up, and the sorrow came from re-living a few of the low points in my life. I would say that overall, this is one of the best ways to continue passing on down to the future generations things that helped to shape your life and make you the person that you have become. It can show the Grandchildren how to overcome the problems of life and also how to remember those people, places, and things that we all need to keep in mind as we grow older.

This book for filling in your memories for grandchildren is one of the best I've seen .Each page asks a question which prompts memories with space to write them.

It will make a good keep sake .

it not i hope it to be but it was worth the price

It is much smaller than I thought it would be.

I didn't realize this book was post card sized and the questions in it are not what I was looking for.
