Our book 'The Tyrannosaur's Feather's' has won an award!

""Playful", "smart", "imaginative" and "funny" are among the words our judges used to describe its clever combination of facts, research and recent findings"

They also said it "makes learning fun"

I couldn't make it to The Week Junior Book Awards ceremony in London last night, but coauthor @JonathanEmmett and Becky and Hazel from UCLan Publishing were there to accept.

Looking forward to #EuropeanAstrofest in London on February 2&3. I'll be there with the #UCLan #DistanceLearning #Astronomy stand, and on stage at 10.30am on the Friday talking about the current frenzy of activity around the #Moon. If you're attending, do pop by the stand to say hello!

Excuse the self-promotion but my children's books might make a nice gift for any children in your life interested in #dinosaurs and #paleontology.

They're fun picture books that encourage readers to think about #science and evidence.

Both are widely available, on Amazon and elsewhere.

Another positive review of 'The Tyrannosaur's Feathers', this time by teacher Maria Faithorn at the Reading Zone: https://www.readingzone.com/books/the-tyrannosaur-s-feathers/#review36644

"For any dinosaur-mad child, or as part of a dinosaur topic of work, this is an ideal book to challenge previous discoveries and beliefs."

#TheTyrannosaursFeathers was written by @JonathanEmmett and me, illustrated by @Stieven, published by UCLan Publishing.

If you liked my recent children's picture book The Tyrannosaur's Feathers, you might also be interested in my previous book, The Plesiosaur's Neck.

“There’s one thing about her that’s hard to ignore,
THAT RIDICULOUS NECK!
What on Earth was it for?”

It encourages critical evidence-based thinking and concludes that scientists don't yet have the answer to everything.

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.
