Do Not Pet the Dinosaurs
A Very Honest Field Guide to Earth's Weirdest Giants
This is a field guide for trainees. It explains how to tell a real dinosaur from an impostor, why Tyrannosaurus and Stegosaurus never once met, what colour a Sinosauropteryx actually was, why nothing ever roared, and exactly how bad one particular spring morning 66 million years ago got.
Every fact is real. Every joke is on purpose. Somewhere on almost every page, a chicken-sized dinosaur called Doug is hiding, and he is extremely smug about it.
- Written for ages 8 to 12, in plain language, with no lecturing
- 40 full-colour pages, one big illustration per page
- Up-to-date science: feathers, fossil pigments, the Tanis site, the Spinosaurus argument scientists are still having
- Ten escalating safety rules, a field test quiz, a dino dictionary, and a hidden-character hunt
- Ends where every dinosaur book should end: at your own window
Rule number one: do not pet the dinosaurs. It sounds obvious. You would be amazed.

Your Brain Is Lying to You
A Very Honest Field Guide to the Thing Inside Your Head
Right now, your brain is making things up and not telling you. It is filling in a hole in your vision. It is inventing colours that are not in the light. It switches you off several times a second and hides the gap. It has already decided things about this page that it cannot prove. This is not a fault. It is the deal. A brain that waited for perfect information would get you eaten. So yours guesses — fast, constantly, and very confidently. This field guide catches it in the act. Find the hole in your own eye on page 7. Watch two squares that are the same colour refuse to look the same. Remember a word that was never there. Hear a sound change when you close your eyes. Then find out why a brain that lies this much is still the most impressive object anyone has ever found. Written for ages 8 to 12, in plain language, with no lecturing 40 full-colour pages, one big illustration per page Real cognitive science: the blind spot, change blindness, the McGurk effect, false memories, fast and slow thinking Twelve tests you can run on yourself, your friends, and any adult who says they are not fooled Ten numbered LIES, a field test, a brain dictionary, and a neuron called Ping hiding on almost every page Ends with the useful part: how to argue with your own brain and win LIE #1: You are seeing this page.
