How to Babysit a Grandpa

This is a fun, light-hearted and heart-warming story that flips the usual “babysitting” idea: instead of a kid being looked after, the kid is babysitting their grandpa! The narrator gives playful “how-to” tips for having a great day with Grandpa:

• Tips for snacks: “anything dipped in ketchup … ice cream topped with cookies, cookies topped with ice cream.” P

• Suggestions for outdoor adventures: “find lizards and dandelion puffs, be on the lookout for puddles and sprinklers.” 

• Ideas for imaginative play: “build a pirate cave, put on a scary play.” 

• Underlying theme: Celebrate the special bond between grandchildren and grandpas, giving children agency and fun ways to connect.
