Reid Psaltis disturbs the Order of Things: a truly bonkers animal encyclopedia.

The Order of Things, from rising star Reid Psaltis, is a subversive spin on the medieval bestiaries and animal encyclopedias that have fired the imaginations of children for centuries. Take a trip back in time through the natural world, but don't let those breathtaking paintings distract you from the Order of Things. Psaltis's humor is as dry as those dinosaur bones.

"A field guide to spotting and identifying mystery fauna, this fancifully illustrated work illuminates a menagerie of creatures, from the possibly extinct Ivory-Billed Woodpecker to the impossibly ubiquitous Jackalope." — National Geographic 

"Psaltis mixing things up keeps the reader off-balance in that regard, as one never knows what’s coming next. The commentary gets stranger and funnier as the book goes on, like the remarkable drawing of the Great Horned Owl where its bones are arranged to form the shape of the animal, with only its piercing eyes appearing as per normal. The only comment is “Nightmare fuel for all species of rodents." — High-Low
