Description: This is a hilarious and accessible picture book about a child spending time with his grandpa. Written in a how-to style, the narrator gives important tips for "babysitting" a grandpa, including what to eat for snack, what to do on a walk, and how to play with a grandpa. Full color.

Review Quotes: The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"The narrative is particularly effective in converting childish concern into caretaker reassurance ('When your mom and dad leave, pat your grandpa's hand and say, "Don't worry. They always come back" ')...While grandpas will obviously enjoy sharing this story with their little ones (and parents will enjoy purchasing it for a Father's Day gift for said grandpa), there is enough playfulness here to broaden the appeal to a wider audience."
