    About this ebook

    Grandma’s Poetry Book charts the nostalgic journey from birth to teens as seen through the eyes of a grandmother. It captures the many facets of those fleeting, easily forgotten moments as the grandchildren grow. Touching and funny in turn, the poems resonate with a grandmother’s love for her grandchildren. Inspired by A A Milne and the bouncy verse of Pam Ayres, Grandma’s Poetry Book was inspired by the birth of Di Castle’s first grandchild. It has been illustrated by Denise Horn – whose sketches capture the special bond between grandparents and their families.

      This is a nice book of poetry for grannies and pretty illustrations. The blurb suggests the style is similar to that of Pam Ayres and I can see a similarity although there isn't the humour that you get with Pam Ayres.There are many lovely poems in this book, starting from before grandchildren were even thought of, when the author was free to do whatever she pleased, up to the point where she has lots of grandchildren. It would make an ideal gift for a new grandma.Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for providing a copy for review.
