The Kid's Field Guide to Grown-Ups: A Complete Study of the Adult in the Wild for Kids Aged 6-9 (8.5 x 11 inch Full-Color)

Imagine handing a child a book that makes them look up from the page, point at an adult across the room, and whisper: I knew it.

20 species. Full-colour illustrated field guide. A completely serious scientific study of the most baffling creature on earth — the adult human. From The Coffee-Dependent Parent (Parentus caffeinus desperatus) to The Nosy Christmas Relative (Interrogatus annoyus). Designed for curious kids aged 6–9 who have always suspected grown-ups were up to something.

WHAT MAKES THIS BOOK DIFFERENT

• A Real Field Guide: Rigorously Researched. Every adult gets their own full-colour species entry — scientific name, habitat map, threat assessment, vocalisation decoder, and behaviour clock. Formatted exactly like a real wildlife field guide. Played completely straight.

• The Facts Nobody Told You: "In a minute" does not mean sixty seconds. The adult known as The DIY Dad has been "nearly finished" since 2019. The Cheerful Dentist has never once meant it when she said "this won't hurt." The Coffee-Dependent Parent scores one star for Approachability before 8am and five stars immediately after.

• The Science Behind the Species: Every species entry includes a real Fun Fact about human biology, psychology, or behaviour — explaining the science behind why adults actually do what they do. Kids finish the book knowing what adenosine is, why humans form habits, and why queues make people irrational. Accidentally.

• Not a Workbook: Full-colour illustrations throughout. A premium illustrated reference book that kids read and adults read over their shoulder — and then immediately text to someone.
