Publisher's Synopsis
The 100 Ways Grandma Killed Me is a children's book specifically formulated for adult audiences. It will be enjoyed by parents and grandparents alike, as it reflects the tensions that erupt between today's generation of parents vs. the parents of thirty years ago. Today's children are. understandably, protected and sheltered. Among other examples, consider the following differences from thirty years ago: Children no longer play unsupervised outside in their neighborhood; there is great caution taken in introducing foods such as peanuts; cabinets are locked and electrical outlets are covered; and car seats take up the entire back seat of a mini van. Grandma tends to play by the old rules. Although everyone knows that she has developed a wonderful, loving relationship with granddaughter, the parents live in a state of constant anxiety, mistrust, and worry. Somehow, despite Grandma and her escapades with her granddaughter, her granddaughter thrives and survives. I hope every family can read the book! They will relate to its humor and depiction of the generation gap in patenting styles!
