PreS-Gr 2—In a companion to Reagan's How to Babysit a Grandpa (Knopf, 2012), a young girl heads over to her grandma's house for a sleepover babysitting session-with the child providing clear and humorous instructions to readers on how to care for a grandma. The to-do list contains many choices for Grandma to select from, including a walk to the park, reading, taking photos, playing dress-up, and adding sugary sprinkles to her meal items. The child wisely allows plenty of time for Grandma to look at the pages while reading a book, peek at the stars, and choose the best spot to sleep. Any grown-up who has calmly been the object of a child's flights of fancy will chuckle at the scenarios, as Grandma, never mugging or rolling her eyes, participates fully and patiently in all of her granddaughter's ideas. The full-color digital art is bright, and sharp-eyed children will delight in the details, including the silly antics of Grandma's dog. While this book breaks no new ground, the charm of its premise and the clear bond between the generations will have kids and grandparents giggling together.—Marge Loch-Wouters, La Crosse Public Library, WI In this companion to How to Babysit a Grandpa (2012), Reagan offers a fun, relatable story about the qualities of being a good babysitter, told from the perspective of a little girl who is spending quality time with her grandmother. From the illustrations, which resemble Polaroid snapshots of their visit together, to the many checklists that the little girl jots down, such as “How to Keep Grandma Busy” and “How to Say Good-Bye to Grandma,” the story celebrates family connections—and successful babysitting experiences. The how-to format, which Reagan highlights in the narrator’s bubbly handwriting, creates a lively framework, but it’s the bright, energetic mixed-media illustrations that convey the action and create the sense of story and character. Particularly clear in an evening scene as the girl and her grandma observe the stars in the purplish night sky, the mood of kindness, love, and togetherness comes through on every page. Grades K-3. --Annie Miller

Such a cute read My mother in law watches my daughter every day. I bought this book for her for Christmas and she laughs and thinks it so funny to hear that it’s the other way around and she’s babysitting her grandma. Super cute and funny! 🤣Don’t think twice- buy this I just bought this book for my daughter I absolutely love every single thing about this book. Jean Reagan if you’re reading this I want to Thank You for writing this beautiful yet funny book that has melted our hearts into a million trillion pieces!So Wholesome and Charming I Could Plotz This is a cheerful review because I was quite taken by this book. That's a bit surprising, because experience suggests that most grandparent books are so Hallmark/Disney/Family-Values bland or tin-eared that they read like long form greeting cards. Not so here. This book has a puckish sense of humor and a bit of parenting wisdom behind it.The twist, that the kid is babysitting the grandma, is clever and is a joke that even a younger child will get. Good start, but you still have to have a grandma and a grandchild who do real things. In this book the little jokes are telling and the interaction between grandma and child seem real and unforced. How they amuse each other and entertain and occupy themselves could be drawn from some ideal sleepover memories. From visits to the park to goofy crafts to leaving the light on for grandma at bedtime, this tale is fun, silly, and real, or at least what we wish were real. Heck, even grandma's grey hair looks good. (Although, there should probably be a section about "pretending" how hard it is to get up off the carpet.)The drawing is colorful, energetic and engaging. "Fun" is pretty hard to draw, but Lee Wildish did a great job of drawing just enough to get across the idea. The layout of the text and pictures is broken up in a way that gets across the haphazard and sort of manic nature of a sleepover. There are lots of little jokes drawn in around the edges, (the dog's reaction to stuff may be the funniest part of the book), so this really does become a "picture book" worth looking at closely.The bottom line is I'm not sure you could read this grandparent book together and not have a good time and a couple of chuckles. How nice is that?
