Portly McSwine, eternal pessimist and constant worrywart, is planning a party to celebrate National Snout Day. But Portly is concerned. What if his party is not a success?

In this unique and playful picture book, the striking patterns found on animals, plants, and other natural forms are used to create each letter of the alphabet. Readers must guess what each pattern comes from. On the right-hand page is the clue: the letter. On the left-hand page is the answer. The clues can be as obvious as a zebra-striped z and a rainbow r, or as subtle and surprising as an m-shaped close-up of a macaw's wing. With vibrant, graphic cut-paper illustrations, Janet Marshall has created a vivid reminder that even the simplest things around us are worth a second look.

Knowing the items people will most likely need and want means you can stock up on them, even if you don’t want or need them for your own personal use. It’s like having currency in the bank.A thousand pages could be written about survival and responses to disasters or crises but there is no way that that amount of information could ever be contained in one book let alone inside your head.The key to preparation is to start where it benefits you the most. You wouldn’t need to pack snow chains and ice picks if you lived in the desert would you? No each person is going to have their own opinions on what needs to be prepared for, what supplies need to be kept on hand, and what skills need to be trained for. Preparedness is not a singular path.However, this report gives you an excellent foundation for taking action. One of the mistakes people make is telling themselves that they will start buying items “soon”or “next paycheck” or “next month”.The main problem with this frame of mind is that a disaster doesn’t happen on schedule. That next big quake or F5 tornado could hit much “sooner” than your next paycheck..
