Great questions and nice size for grandpas!
I purchased 4 of the "grandparents" books because even after going through all of the reviews, I couldn't decide on which to get. These are for my two young children to give to my parents and my in-laws. The following are the 4 I purchased: Grandparents' Memory Book: Did You Really Walk Five Miles to School? Memories for My Grandchild A Grandparent's Legacy: Your Life Story in Your Own Words Grandparents Journal We decided to keep the "Memories for My Grandchild" for both of or Mom's and my husbands grandma. It was between this and "A Grandparent's Legacy: Your Life Story in Your Own Words" which I also liked very well. Both have spiral notebook style rather then regular book style. Ultimately we decided on "Memories for My Grandchild" because I liked the organization better and the pocket in the back for storage is nice. The questions in both were great but, we returned ""A Grandparent's Legacy: Your Life Story in Your Own Words". I liked that it was organized by month. This would be a good method for having grandparents complete it within one year yet, they could complete it differently if they preferred. I was just thinking if you were ever looking for specific info on the person who completed it, you would have to read through the entire book to find as it isn't organized in any other way besides months. And we kept "Grandparents' Memory Book: Did You Really Walk Five Miles to School? " for both of our Dads. The questions in "Grandparents' Memory Book: Did You Really Walk Five Miles to School? " were really both of our favorites, very original and things we wouldn't normally think to ask. It is a very casual, easy going book while still organized nicely into categories. It seemed to fit both of our Dads better. Also, it is a smaller book then the others which I think will be less intimidating for them to complete. Downside, this one doesn't have spirals, it is a regular book. "Grandparents Journal" we returned but, it would work well if you have grandparent's where one of the two is more apt then the other to complete it as it has spaces for both to complete on the same pages (I am afraid my dad might fall into that category). We weren't as happy with the questions in this book as the others. The spiral notebook format and pockets in each chapter were great, that was a definate plus for this book.
