It's been a while since I plugged one of my children's picture books, and what's the point of writing a book if nobody knows about it!?
'The Tyrannosaur's Feathers' is a fun exploration of the science of palaeontology. The book uses T. rex to show how a growing body of evidence gradually shifts our understanding of dinosaur appearance and behaviour.
On Amazon here https://amzn.to/3Z7V7JM for the blurb etc, but widely available elsewhere.

@idoubtit Having won a genuine book award last year for #TheTyrannosaursFeathers I have this very decision to make. I didn’t rush to update my profile when we won, and still haven’t, so maybe I do feel a bit awkward about it…

An example spread from #TheTyrannosaursFeathers by @JonathanEmmett and me, illustrated by @Stieven.
This new book explores how scientific discoveries have gradually changed the public image of T. rex.
T. rex in the book starts out looking like a 1916 tail-dragging Charles Knight painting. But a know-it-all Velociraptor wants to make some corrections to bring T. rex's appearance up to date with the latest evidence.
Get it from your go-to book seller.

My new profile picture is a fetching illustration of me by @Stieven taken from the back of my new book The Tyrannosaur’s Feathers. This new Children's picture book was written by @JonathanEmmett and me. Published last week, it's ideal for children interested in dinosaurs, palaeontology, scientific discovery, and the history of science.

I’m returning to form, along with authors @AdamStuartSmith & @JonathanEmmett, with my first dino book review in a while, #TheTyrannosaursFeathers ! This delightful look at our changing views of dinosaurs is sure to entertain, helped marvelously by @Stieven’s characteristically informative dinosaur cartoons.
