A New York Times bestselling title, illustrated by the winner of the Red House Children's Book Award 2013.

When your grandad rings the doorbell, it's babysitting time! This is a hilarious and accessible picture book about a child spending time with his grandad. The perfect Father's day gift!

Written in a how-to style, the narrator gives important tips for 'babysitting' a grandad, including what to eat for snack (anything dipped in ketchup, ice cream topped with cookies, cookies topped with ice cream), what to do on a walk (find lizards and dandelion puffs, be on the lookout for puddles and sprinklers), and how to play with a grandad (build a pirate cave, put on a scary play).

"A cunning study in role reversal, with Lee Wildish's over-the-top illustrations well in keeping with a jaunty text." - Independent on Sunday

A fun book for young children spending time with grandparents! We had gotten both the Grandpa and Grandma books for ours, they were about 4 yrs. This book is a great one for ages 3-8 depends on child of course.
These sort of books give the creative mind more material to use as they grow up ❤️

I ABSOLUTELY love reading this book to my 2 year old Grandson! The book is full of fun "facts" that most Grandkids and Grandpas do together. Playing, laughing, eating cookies and ice cream and even taking a nap. This book is well written and illustrated. I love this book so much I'm going to purchase the "How to Babysit a Grandma" next. Can't wait to see what we do. This is a must have!

This is a favorite of ours, daughter has been reading it with grandpa for years and still loves it. We have how to babysit a grandma as well. Purchased this second copy as a companion to a grandpa and granddaughter art piece we donated to a silent auction. It was a big hit.

The book is cute for us, but doesn't meet expectations from a representation view. It follows a white kid and a white grandpa so it could be better with more diversity.

Description is wrong. I love this story, but I specifically ordered "board" books,
for toddlers, not hardback with paper pages.

Lovely book but was about grandma not grandpa as advertised. Could not return as children (twins) would not understand. As I bought one for grandma and one for grandpa was disappointed as my looked like i got too for my sisterinlaw and none for my brother.
