Grades 2-5. Zombie outbreak, asteroid strike, or alien invasion? No problem! Coauthors Hardy and Coonradt, cohosts of The Casual Preppers podcast, help young survivalists prepare for almost any kind of emergency in this lively guide for the end of times. Designed like an actual handbook, this tongue-in-cheek manual is comprised of spreads with chunked text in a direct but amusing style and boldly colored, action-packed illustrations. Numerous infographics with labeled parts reinforce the concepts. While some topics poke fun at Hollywood-inspired calamities, like surviving supernatural unrest or an AI takeover, there's also a wealth of information for weathering real-life natural disasters, blackouts, being lost in the woods, and even being caught in the middle of a violent protest. Advice on having a survival bag (aka bugout bag), an escape plan, clean drinking water, long-term food storage, first aid, and communication are solid in any disaster, real or imagined. Antiseptic wipes, for instance, prevent germs, even from werewolf bites. If an apocalypse does occur, don't worry--the authors offer concluding tips on rebuilding civilization.
