Description de l’éditeur
The perfect story to make the distance between you and grandad feel a little smaller whilst you're stuck at home . . .
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.
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
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Reagan and Wildish follow their bestselling How to Babysit a Grandpa with another sly how-to that guides readers through the finer points of babysitting one's grandparent. The narrator offers suggestion after suggestion for how to make a sleepover at grandma's go off without a hitch, from visiting the park to having singalongs, reading, and watching for the first star at night. Wildish's cheery digital illustrations smooth over any potential moments of anxiety (such as when "grandma" might be "missing your mom and dad" at night) with lots of soft smiles and evidence of the close bond between this grandmother and granddaughter. Ages 5 8.
