Description
The Little Instruction Book for Grandparents by Kate Freeman is the perfect gift for new grandparents, packed with humorous tips and tongue-in-cheek advice on how to look after the newest additions to the family.
Just when you thought your children were off your hands... along come the grandchildren! It's time to wave goodbye to that fleeting peace and quiet and say hello to a world you remember all too well.
But wait - everything is different now! Who is going to teach you how to operate the over-complicated car seat, or help you solve the perennial problem of how to change a loaded nappy with just one wet wipe? Because, let's be honest, things aren't what they used to be.
Packed with comical illustrations and amusing tips, this indispensable handbook is here to guide you through the pleasures and pitfalls of grandparenthood. Most importantly, though, it'll teach you how to keep the grandkids quiet while you catch up on your nap-time.
