Overview
The Stefan Gates Collection brings together three riotously fun nonfiction hardcovers from the TV presenter and self-styled "Gastronaut." Rude Science dishes out gross-but-true science trivia kids can't resist, while Dogology and Catology dig into the quirky biology and behavior behind our favorite pets. Packed with bold illustrations, surprising facts, and laugh-out-loud moments, this three-book bundle turns curious kids into budding scientists and animal experts. It's the perfect addition to any home library, classroom shelf, or screen-free activity stash for elementary-age readers who love facts that are a little bit gross and a lot of fun.

About the Books
Stefan Gates has built a career making science and food irresistibly entertaining for young audiences, and this collection is no exception. Rude Science digs into the strange, slimy, and stomach-churning side of the natural world, answering the questions kids actually want to ask -- why do things smell bad, what happens when you burp, and how does the body really work, all explained with Gates's signature humor. Dogology turns the spotlight on man's best friend, exploring canine senses, instincts, breeds, and behavior through bite-sized facts and engaging illustrations that explain why dogs do what they do, from sniffing strangers to chasing their tails. Catology does the same for felines, unpacking the mysterious habits, physical abilities, and history of cats in a format built for curious young readers who have always wondered why their cat acts the way it does. Across all three titles, Stefan Gates uses his signature blend of humor, hands-on curiosity, and clear explanations to make nonfiction feel like an adventure rather than homework. Each hardcover is designed with short chapters, colorful spreads, and plenty of white space, making the set ideal for reluctant readers, animal lovers, and budding young scientists alike. Teachers and parents will appreciate how the books reinforce real scientific concepts while keeping kids giggling, flipping pages, and sharing facts with friends and family at the dinner table, long after the last page has been turned.
