Celebrate the special bond between grandmas and grandkids with this delightful New York Times bestseller that puts the kids in charge of babysitting...if just for one day. The perfect gift for Mother's Day, Grandparent's Day, and any day shared with Grandma! When you babysit a grandma, if you're lucky, you'll have a sleepover at her house! And with the useful tips found in this book, you're guaranteed to become an expert grandma-sitter in no time. (Be sure to check out the sections on: How to keep a grandma busy; Things to do at the park; Possible places to sleep, and what to do once you're both tucked in for the night.) From the author-illustrator team behind the New York Times bestselling books comes a funny and heartwarming celebration of grandmas and grandchildren. The fun doesn't stop! Check out more HOW TO... picture books: How to Babysit a Grandpa How to Catch a Santa How to Get Your Teacher Ready How to Raise a Mom How to Surprise a Dad Review: Book review - Great book Review: So Wholesome and Charming I Could Plotz - This is a cheerful review because I was quite taken by this book. That's a bit surprising, because experience suggests that most grandparent books are so Hallmark/Disney/Family-Values bland or tin-eared that they read like long form greeting cards. Not so here. This book has a puckish sense of humor and a bit of parenting wisdom behind it. The twist, that the kid is babysitting the grandma, is clever and is a joke that even a younger child will get. Good start, but you still have to have a grandma and a grandchild who do real things. In this book the little jokes are telling and the interaction between grandma and child seem real and unforced. How they amuse each other and entertain and occupy themselves could be drawn from some ideal sleepover memories. From visits to the park to goofy crafts to leaving the light on for grandma at bedtime, this tale is fun, silly, and real, or at least what we wish were real. Heck, even grandma's grey hair looks good. (Although, there should probably be a section about "pretending" how hard it is to get up off the carpet.) The drawing is colorful, energetic and engaging. "Fun" is pretty hard to draw, but Lee Wildish did a great job of drawing just enough to get across the idea. The layout of the text and pictures is broken up in a way that gets across the haphazard and sort of manic nature of a sleepover. There are lots of little jokes drawn in around the edges, (the dog's reaction to stuff may be the funniest part of the book), so this really does become a "picture book" worth looking at closely. The bottom line is I'm not sure you could read this grandparent book together and not have a good time and a couple of chuckles. How nice is that?

Fun story with lots of ideas to babysit your grandma!
What an adorable story that shows the great bond of a child and their grandma! All the fun things to do with grandma when Mom and Dad can’t be there. Just seeing my granddaughter smile and day dream has been a beautiful thing!! Will we go to the park and slide down the bumpy slide? She gets to decide! It will be a fun adventure though! Thank goodness for that great balance of technology and good old fashioned books! I have been able to read to my granddaughter a nightly story via FaceTime while she has been in the hospital for three months. What a beautiful way to close that gap of distance when we can’t be there every day. I am so happy to have this book in our at-home library for her! A wonderful addition for your home! Makes a great gift as well! Add your own ideas as to how to babysit your grandma!
