Grandparents need lots of help from their grandchildren. This guide book explains it all! From activities to food to love, this is the book for all grandparents and grandchild with a funny bone.

The animals are shows all types of scenarios where grandchildren can assist their grandparents. Young readers can take this book to heart while parents and grandparents will chuckle along with the hilarity of true life. The text is big and bold with large illustrations. This is an excellent read aloud book.

Just what do you do with a grandma? Why, listen to her stories, teach her football and let her let you stay up late, of course! This adorable picture book gives kids all the insider tips they need to keep their grandparents content. Bonus: parents and grandparents should have a good time reading this one as well. In fact, this would make a nice gift for a grandparent...when is Grandparent's Day again?

[Sally]

Absolutely, positively the most adorable book ever. Normally I wouldn't even consider this book since it has animals and clothes (I am fundamentally against this concept) but I gave it a chance. I wasn't disappointed. So perfect with hilarious illustrations!

[Jennie]

Light hearted guidelines on how to act when you are with your grandparents. Ie: let them chase you, give you extra goodies, let them practice reading with you, let them take naps, teach them how to play football. gr. K-4.

[Cathy]

I love this book! It is the perfect read-aloud for grandparents and grandchildren. We are going to video tape the kids reading it and mail it along with a copy of the book to Grandma for Grandparents' Day.

[Susan]

When is Grandparents Day? Would be a great story and could do a whole grandparents program and invite the kids to bring their grandparents - how cute would that be?!

[Marie]

Not inspired, but nicely done. Would be fine choice for Grandparents' Day.

[The Library Lady]

A bit sticky sweet, and some of the humor seems more directed at parents than at kids. But everyone will enjoy it.

[Marge]

Love it. Super cute, easy read. I may need to shorten it a little for my baby lapsit, but it should still work well.

[Natasha]

Liked this book a lot better than when I read it 3 years ago, now that the kids are older and could understand it better, it was more humorous. Especially how the illustrations show more than just what the text says.

[Debbie]

What a sweet book taken from the perspective of the child when being with a grandparents. It warms this grandma's heart.
