Bookroo's summary

In this charming tale, a child takes the lead in 'babysitting' Grandpa, turning an ordinary day into an extraordinary adventure. From crafting pirate caves to indulging in ice cream-topped cookies, every moment is filled with laughter and love. As the child navigates snacks, walks, and playtime, the bond between grandparent and grandchild deepens. What surprises await when the roles are reversed, and the little one becomes the guide? Dive into this heartwarming story that celebrates the joy of family and the magic of spending time with Grandpa.

From the publisher

A New York Times bestselling picture book—from the creators of the hilarious HOW TO… series—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 (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 grandpa (build a pirate cave, put on a scary play).

Filled with humor, energy, and warmth, this is a great gift for or from a grandparent, and perfect for lap reading when Grandpa comes to visit!
