When you babysit a grandma, if you’re lucky it’s a sleepover at her house. With the useful tips found in this book, you’re guaranteed to become an expert grandma-sitter in no time. Be sure to check the sections on: how to keep your grandma busy, things to do at the park and what to do when you’re both snugly tucked in at bedtime.

From the author-illustrator team behind the bestselling How to Babysit a Grandad comes a funny and heartwarming celebration of grandmas and grandchildren.

‘Youngsters will recognize some of the sayings they’ve heard from their own grandparents and will thoroughly enjoy the tongue-in-cheek role reversal.’ – School Library Journal
