What is Papa Forgot about?

Harry’s Mummy and Daddy are going out, so Grandpa comes to babysit. They leave him a careful list of things to remember, from Harry’s supper and bath to his bedtime. But Papa keeps forgetting! He forgets Harry’s bib, leaves his shoes on for bed-bouncing and misses the paint smock. Soon Harry is covered in food, bubbles and paint, while bedtime disappears altogether. Will Papa remember what to do before Harry’s parents come home, or will the evening become one unforgettable adventure?
