It's HERE!
The companion to the New York Times Bestseller How to Babysit a Grandpa!

As cute as Grandpa!
Maybe even more so since it is Grandma after all :)

"When you babysit a grandma, IF you're lucky...it's a sleepover at her house!"

You will need to be prepared to "keep grandma busy:"

Go to the park,

play dress up, have dinner, find stars, snuggle, read books, etc.

Then bedtime is the BEST because Grandma's get lonely so you will probably need to sleep with her.

When it's time to go home the fun isn't over yet...

There is a whole list for "how to say goodbye to a grandma."

CUTE! CUTE! CUTE! BOOK!
DARLING PICTURES!

Great book if you like to laugh. About a grandchild going to take care of grandma instead of grandma babysitting. Shows what the girls interest and how she did what she wanted for both of them her way.

the roles are reversed in this funny and very creative book. A little girl goes to her grandma's house so her parents can have a night off. She cares for, plays with, comforts and talks to her grandma throughout the book as if she is babysitting grandma.

This book was probably one of the cutest children's books I have read. It was creative how the author made the book seem like the young child was watching the Grandma, but in reality it was the other way around. Every grandparent should sit down and read this with their grandchildren. The main

point of the story was how important grandparents are to children, and how important grandchildren are to grandparents. Each one has a very special place in the hearts of each other. This book really emphasized how important the two are.

How to Babysit a Grandma starts with a little girl being dropped off at her grandmas house for the night. The young girl goes through the best ways to entertain her grandma. She offers to play shadow puppets, make silly faces with food, go to the park, and reads her books. The granddaughter is a

loving, creative, and brave girl. The Grandma loves playing with her granddaughter. the genre of this book is considered to be realistic fiction. The books text and pictures compliment each other, with the illustrations showing pictures of what the words state. This is a great picture book to read to children, it is humorous with great illustrations. Weaknesses could be the text being distracting from the pictures.

I bought this book for a baby shower gift, so I figured I would give it a quick glance through and leave a review. This book is hilarious and utterly adorable. It is the perfect, goofy read for children and I absolutely loved it. The Mom to be also said it is highly relatable, since a lot of

Grandma's need to be babysat.

I highly recommend this book and it was absolutely hilarious! What a gem of a book!

Four out of five stars.
