Boys Books are parodies of traditional science books for boys. The first book, Boys Book of Armageddon, is a book of all the ways the world could end. The book covers doomsayers, marketing apocalypse, and even the best dog to own for the zombie apocalypse (a herding dog like an Australian Shepherd). Behind the humor is critical thinking and how to spot nonsense and a lot of nonsensical puns.

Boys Book of Apocalypse is book of apocalyptic visions, doomsayers, bad puns, and fun facts, to make the end-times both delightful and profitable. The definitive book for boys on all things apocalyptic. From Mayan holidays in 2012, to marketing when zombies rise or a killer asteroid hits the fan. Don't wait until the next doomsayer predicts the end of the world, be prepared!

Boys Book of Apocalypse is full of science, pseudoscience, religion, Mayans, zombies, and a cast of doomsayers. Improve your vocabulary with new words to learn, like doomsayer, xenophobe and rumination. There are experiments too! Test the power of prayer, create a zombie survival kit and start an end of the world rumor. Each experiment has questions to see what you've learned and how your therapist feels about your new mental health issues.

Each book in the Boys Books series is irreverent, thought provoking and filled with wickedly subversive humor. No tangent is missed by the oblique humor and horrible puns. Everyone's sacred cow is sacrificed and then reincarnated in this parody of an educational book for boys that will keep you laughing from beginning to the end of the world.

Daniel's next humor book is Boys Book of Pseudoscience.
