Children will love these fabulously illustrated books that show them, in a fun and non-threatening way, how to be ready in case things go wrong and how important safety can be!

BOOK 1: Prepper Pete Prepares: An Introduction to Prepping for Kids - Prepper Pete works very hard to keep his family safe by preparing for events that may happen in the future... things such as power outages, bad storms, illness, and other disasters. Join our hero as he explores the many reasons to "be prepared" and fun things your family can do, too!

BOOK 2: Survivalist Sam Stocks Up: The Four B's of Prepping for Kids - Beans, Bullets, Bandages, and Barter items are the staples of any preparedness plan. Join Prepper Pete's best friend, Survivalist Sam, as he explores the Four B's of prepping and many of the fun things your family can do, too!

BOOK 3: Prepper Pete's Gun of a Son: A Gun Safety Book for Kids - Prepper Pete works very hard to keep his family safe. When his son Charlie becomes old enough, they enroll in a gun safety class together. Join our hero, his son, and their friends in this fabulously illustrated book as they explore many of the important aspects of gun safety.

BOOK 4: The Twelve Days of Prepper Christmas: Based on a True Story - Prepper Pete works very hard to keep his loved ones safe by preparing for events that may happen in the future. His family decides to thank him by giving gifts based on a longstanding tradition… with a Prepper twist! Children (and you’re whole family!) will love singing this adapted version of a well-known classic! ***** "Some people prepare because they are afraid. Our family does not have to be afraid... because we are prepared!" -Prepper Pete

A note for grownups:

Book 1: Teaching kids the importance of being prepared doesn't have to be harsh or scary. Regardless of why you (or someone you may know) prepare, remember that the single most important thing you can teach your kids is how to think! All the preps in the world don't mean a thing if people don't know how to think clearly. Teach useful skills to all of the kids you know, to include critical thinking, problem solving, and the most important one of all - how to be resourceful! Prepper Pete and Friends are the first and only Prepper books on the market designed especially for kids! Check back often for new releases!

Book 2: The topic of stocking up doesn't have to be reserved for prepping and survival! Many activities, from gardening and canning, to first aid and reading, can engage kids of all ages to learn useful skills that will prepare them for the rest of their life. The Four B's are important in many situations, though sometimes in a different order. Talk to your kids about safe shelter in a storm, or being aware of strangers; take a first aid class with them to learn new skills. Encourage reading and critical thinking. Don't scare... prepare!

Book 3: If knowledge is power, then in the case of firearms, “knowledge is safety.” Familiarity with guns for kids often helps avoid the “forbidden fruit” syndrome, which can create a safer environment. When they are an appropriate age, work with your kids to familiarize them with firearms, and always stress the importance of gun safety!

IMPORTANT:  "Book 3 is intended to be used as a launching point of discussion with children. It is NOT intended to be a substitute for an actual firearms safety course. Seek out a local safety course in your area, and attend with your child to demonstrate to them the importance of gun safety."

 

Biography:

"A graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, former Surface Warfare Officer, and currently a Navy Chaplain, Kermit Jones, Jr. stumbled across the idea of a prepper book for kids when trying to decide how to explain the topic to his four young daughters. 

A Navy Reservist, he was recently recalled to Active Duty for a three year tour. In addition to writing children's books, he teaches on the topic of emergency preparedness, and he has been featured as a guest on several radio and talkshow broadcasts.

Between kids and his career, he has learned that it is important to "be prepared!"

Having attended high school in a very rural part of Virginia, Kermit later earned his Masters degree at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, and is currently working on his Doctorate in Chaplaincy at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary."

This review is from: Prepper Pete Prepares: An Introduction to Prepping for Kids (Prepper Pete and Friends) (Paperback)
"What a great idea! Kermit takes valuable lessons (which are often times ignored or forgotten in this 'technology driven' world) and puts them into a language which our younger generation can readily understand. He touches upon an assortment of highly important topics including learning how to use tools that don't require electricity. And the point about staying healthy and physically fit cannot be overstated when it comes to dealing with a the stress of a 'survival event'. Well done! The illustrations are also very nice and portray the topics very well. I'll be looking into other titles by Kermit Jones!"

"This is a great book for kids and adults alike. Kermit covers different topics so whatever event you are planning for, there is a brief mention without making it a chapter book. My kids love it and want me to buy the other books in the series. Great job on TSP Kermit."
