Charlie is always ready for anything . . . just in case. What if it's raining very hard—so hard that rain could come into the house and make the furniture float? Charlie has a plan to keep himself dry . . . just in case. What if his parents are going out and he gets a babysitter who won't read to him or let him watch TV? Charlie has a plan for making his own fun . . . just in case. But as Charlie is about to find out, sometimes not being ready is even better.

From School Library Journal:
Diana Cain Bluthenthal is the author and illustrator of Matilda the Moocher and I'm Not Invited?, and the illustrator of a dozen other books for children. She lives with her husband. two young sons, and pets (including two worms) in North Carolina.
Grade 1-3–Viorst's talent for voicing childhood anxieties is evident once again. Charlie likes to be ready for any emergency, so he makes outlandish preparations for whatever might befall him. If someone bossy and mean instead of his favorite sitter comes, he'll make her not glad by washing his feet in the toilet bowl and painting his face a most horrible shade of green. Just in case all the food stores close, he makes a hundred and seventeen peanut-butter sandwiches and stockpiles goodies for everyone in the family. Readers will enjoy his antics to protect himself from being swooped up by a bird on the way to school or escaping a mermaid who might grab his big toe. And they will relish the special surprise for which Charlie is completely unprepared. In full-page and vignette mixed-media cartoon illustrations, Bluthenthal depicts a determined kid, accompanied by his ever-faithful dog, as he goes about his preparations. One hilarious spread shows the boy outstretched in exhaustion after packing food to last through to the middle of May. Along with Kevin Henkes's Wemberly Worried (HarperCollins, 2000) and Helen Lester's Something Might Happen (Houghton, 2003), this book offers some reassurance to readers preoccupied with their fears.–Marianne Saccardi, Norwalk Community College, CT
