On a recent visit to Gleebooks here in Sydney I spied this book. I do need to read it more closely so I will need to make a return visit to the store or hunt this title out in a library, but I just couldn't resist sharing it. The publisher of this book is called Neon Squad and now I also need explore many of their other titles.
Publisher blurb: In this fun and practical illustrated guide, you’ll learn prepping 101, from basic first aid and water purification to packing a useful emergency kit and how to communicate during a tech outage. Then you’ll discover how to survive all kinds of disasters, including a zombie apocalypse, a supernatural takeover, and an alien invasion. Packed with useful tips, tricks, and strategies, this laugh-out-loud handbook will have you hoping for the worst!
Read the full Kirkus review "Thrilling reading for armchair survivalist".
Zombie outbreak, asteroid strike, or alien invasion? No problem! Coauthors Hardy and Coonradt... help young survivalists prepare for almost any kind of emergency in this lively guide for the end of times... this tongue-in-cheek manual has a direct but amusing style and boldly coloured, action-packed illustrations... While some topics poke fun at Hollywood-inspired calamities... there’s also a wealth of information for weathering real-life natural disasters. - Booklist
I love the idea of presenting readers in the library with book pairs. I would bundle How to Survive an Apocalypse with one or two of these:
Cameron Hardy and Coby Coonradt are the hosts of The Casual Preppers podcast. They’re passionate about helping people know what to do in emergencies, and they believe that learning how to prepare for disaster is a crucial life skill for individuals and families. They both also LOVE talking about the apocalypse! How to Survive an Apocalypse is their first book.
