The Big Book of Useless Science Knowledge

Neon Squid creates beautiful nonfiction books for inquisitive kids (and kids at heart). We believe the most amazing stories are real ones, so our books are for children who want to decipher ancient scrolls, orbit distant stars, and dive into the deepest oceans. Our books are a labour of love-written by experts, illustrated by the best artists around, and produced using the finest materials, including sustainably sourced paper. We hope that by reading them kids are encouraged to further explore the world around them.

The Big Book of Useless Science Knowledge is written by experts from around the globe including science teacher/rapper Matt Green, engineer Erin Winick Anthony who worked at NASA, geologist and podcaster Saad Bhatty, and Harvard psychologist Graham Lutz.
