A grandfather’s comic introduction to infant care

Harry Lax frames this family memoir around an unexpected role reversal: a first-time grandfather in his seventies becomes the full-time caregiver for his infant granddaughter. The book gathers the everyday practical challenges of diapering, bathing, and feeding, using the grandfather’s inexperience as its central comic premise. It is explicitly not a parenting manual; its interest lies in the trial-and-error reality of caring for a baby and in the bond between grandparent and grandchild. The compact format keeps the focus on one household’s adjustment to an unconventional caregiving arrangement.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in grandparenting and intergenerational family life
  • Parents and caregivers who enjoy humorous accounts of infant care
  • Fans of personal family narratives centered on everyday domestic experiences

Book overview

Take a delightful little girl, a grandfather in his seventies and a truckload of diapers...stir well and mix in a lot of love and you have a wonderfully humorous reading experience that people of all ages can enjoy and identify with. Follow this first-time Grandpa, who through a strange turn of events, ends up playing full-time nanny to his infant granddaughter. Watch him maneuver through the mechanics of diapering, bathing and feeding without losing his sense of humor. This is not a how-to book. If anything, it is probably more of a how-not-to book.
