About The Book

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.
