I'm not sure what they were back in Sweden Mary - well, congratulations! There are a lot of possibilities for grandparent names; some unique to the family. I'm sure you'll find a perfect fit with whatever you choose :) Margot – Nana and Papa have been the tradition in our family (on the mother’s side) for at least 5 generations.

My best friend's kids call her mom Mimi and her dad Poppy. I'm going to be polling a lot of friends (and possibly strangers) before July! Now I'll see if my library system has this book. Thanks for bringing it to our attention, Dawn. I’m late to the party but since we just found out we’re to be grandparents in 2011 T and I have been tossing around a few possibilities.

My husband and I are also Nana and Papa and, actually, I think I'm getting the books for us. Great review, as always. You have me ordering these books right now.

Beth F - I often judge whether a book is a 'keeper' or a 'library borrow' based on how much I'll enjoy reading it again and again and again ... zibilee - I wonder if part of the appeal for me is that Nana made the title? I like how Wolff incorporates so many names for Grandmother ... rhapsody – I’m so impressed that you remember Nana’s “apple slop” recipe!

I used to call my Grandma Nana too, so I was also pleased to see the title. Great review! This is a really cute idea for a book, and the illustrations look great!

Perhaps a good one to check out of the library. I like the concept of this, but I wonder how many times kids would really read this. Perhaps a good one to check out of the library.

And happy birthday to the memory of your Nana, who lives on in your hearts and even in ours because of her glop (the crumble recipe, maybe not glop but something like that)!
