Why read it?

1 author picked How to Babysit a Grandpa as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This book is so fun! The child explains how to play, entertain, feed, and draw for your grandpa.

My personal favorite is when grandpa says, “naptime,” and we see that napping is what grandpa needs, obviously not the child. This story gives the young child the autonomy to be in charge, but most importantly… connect with their grandpa.
