They have on called Baby's First Book that could be cute.</p> <p>Or, perhaps you and your husband could think back to your childhood and think of a favorite book your parents each read to you and buy that to give to your parents. </p> <p>I've started collecting books for our daughter due in August and the ones I really like are the ones from our childhood like Curious George, Dr. Suess, Bernstein Bears, The Little Golden Books, Where the Wild Things Are, Goodnight Moon, books by Mercer Meyer or Eric Carlton. </p> <p>Maybe you and your husband could go on a date to Barnes and Noble and browse the children's section. My husband and I have really enjoyed browsing the books and remembering our favorites from our childhood. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnacy-announcment-grandma-and-grandpa-book-suggestions#post-163423 Sat, 19 May 2012 13:51:17 +0000 Ms.SK 163423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How about one of those books you fill in the blanks for your family tree and share family stories? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnacy-announcment-grandma-and-grandpa-book-suggestions#post-163365 Sat, 19 May 2012 10:54:13 +0000 Sweet T 163365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>"Chicken Soup for the Grandparent's Soul" or "Chicken Soup for the Grandma's Soul" would both be good ones. There may also be one for just Grandpa but I'm not sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnacy-announcment-grandma-and-grandpa-book-suggestions#post-163364 Sat, 19 May 2012 10:52:23 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 163364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got Chicken Soup for the Grandmothers/father Soul and sent them off to grandparents at about 16 weeks :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnacy-announcment-grandma-and-grandpa-book-suggestions#post-163320 Sat, 19 May 2012 08:50:32 +0000 heartsnsunshine 163320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I recently found out we are having a baby, we were going to wait until 12 weeks to tell anyone. We live 6.5 hours away from all are family, with the exception of DH's sister who live 3 hours away. After visiting our families for mother's day we want to tell them earlier, we were going to wait till the end of July for a family party back at "home".</p> <p> So in 3 weeks my mother is coming to visit us and I want to tell her not sure what Im dong yet for her... and then 2 week later we are going to drive to DH's sister's house when his parents are going to be visiting her to tell them. </p> <p>So our plan to tell his parents by giving them a children's book and in the inside write something like this' Please read this to me in January . Love Baby (last name).' We plan on having the ultra sound pic to put in with it by that time. DH's dad also read books to the grandchildren so this is really fitting.</p> <p>So do you have any suggestions for some cute "grandparent" children books?</p> <p>EDIT: OR ANY CUTE CHILDREN'S BOOKS?</p> <p>Also, my mom is going on a two week trip and she doesn't know the exact date she'll be stopping through... but the three day window she gave me has my first ultra sound scheduled... I hope she'll be here then and she can come what a surprise that will be for her!!! </p>
