Beijing Olympic beast Michael Phelps can add another item to his resume:  children’s book author.

His book, How to Train with a T. Rex and Win 8 Gold Medals, is in stores now, and is published by Simon & Schuster.  It’s a story of his Olympic training regimen and his experience at the Summer Olympics last year.   Featured in the book are pictures of Phelps, his dog Herman and his coach, Bob Bowman.

Of his latest venture, Michael says:

“It’s a fun way for kids to learn and for me to get a lot of different messages out there.”

No word on whether the book mentions how smoking pot and hanging out with strippers fits into one’s training plans.
