Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

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

From Booklist

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

Hello,
My Name is Lee Wildish and I am UK based.
I find Nature and people the biggest influence in my work and try to get as much character and expression into each piece of work as possible. Characters are the main subject of my work as I believe these can make and break a project.
2 number 1 NYTimes bestsellers in children's books and a few more in the top ten. Also I have been fortunate to to win a few awards one being Red House Children's Book Award and have been shortlisted for a few as well overseas and in the UK.
I will always try to refine my styles that hopefully appeal to a wide range of artistic and a commercial markets.
I have illustrated many books for clients including: Random House UK and USA, HarperCollins USA Egmont, Hodder, Hachette, Usborne, Franklin Watts, Hodder, Simon Schulster UK and USA, Usborne, Scholastic and many more with a wide range of styles and media.
Not all of my books will appear on here as you cannot link artists so you will have to perform a manual search.
Thank you and I hope you enjoy my illustrations.

Kids and I love it

We loved how to Babysit a Grandpa so we thought we would try this. Fantastic book. So sweet and loving. This celebrates the special relationship kids have with grandparents. Please read both to your children. I really liked the saying I love you without speaking part. My daughter and I have our own sign language for I love you now and that alone is worth the price of the book.

How To For Kids

Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2015

My first book I've finished this month and year so far was How to Babysit a Grandma by Jean Reagan. A cute picture book. Got it for my kindle to read to my niece. I would give it maybe 4 out of 5 stars ★. My niece would maybe rate it as a like-it-a-lot and love the pictures... she looks at those a lot now without me reading it to her.

The storyline is How to babysit a Grandma... the babysitter being a girl grandchild. The first thing it says is "When you babysit a grandma, if your lucky... it's a sleepover at her house." And then it goes on to about how the girl should let her Grandma decide what to do for the sleepover... and of course, she'll chose to go to the park... and some girlie stuff... and a cute thing with teaching the grandma to say "I love you" without saying a word (pointing to your eye, your heart, and then at her... but of course my niece still said "I love you" while doing that...so cute).

And at the end they showed the cover for the another book... and of course my niece got the idea without knowing how to read... How to Babysit a Grandpa. Might get that and this in hardcover, might work better than the kindle format.

But why the kindle costs so expensive for this kid's picture book is ridiculous!!!!

My 3 yo granddaughter had her first sleepover with grandma without mom & dad coming back same evening. We read “How to Babysit a Grandma” as soon as i arrived and she completely took it to heart. She did an excellent job taking care of grandma all weekend....with none of the usual separation anxiety that typically occurred with her. Book was very helpful!

Poorly presented.

The story is fine but there are multiple pages on one page of the kindle and is almost impossible to read. It looks like a grade school person scanned it. It is all in black and white.

I bought this book along with How to Babysit a Grandpa and am thrilled with both books! The narrative is different from How to Babysit a Grandpa but is equally entertaining. This book illustrates the distinct role of a grandmother without minimizing the one a grandfather plays in a grandchild's life. So glad that it does not include Grandpa because many children may not be lucky to have both grandparents still living or nearby to make and share memories with. Thoroughly enjoyable....may purchase a hard copy to write a note to my grandchildren that can be passed on to their children!
