In retrospect, I should've mentioned that I saw this pic in "A quick history of tree-climbing dinosaurs" ( http://scienceblogs.com/tetrapodzoology/2008/07/21/history-of-treeclimbing-dinosaurs/ ). The problem is that Naish didn't say what book it's from.

I've since found out that the image in question is from "Prehistoric Life (Visual Books)" ( http://chasmosaurs.blogspot.com/2015/05/vintage-dinosaur-art-prehistoric-life.html ).

The authors of that book clearly did not know which kind of Dinosaur our feathered friends are.
Jurassic Park is frightning in the dark
All the dinosaurs are running wild
Someone let T. Rex out of his pen
I'm afraid those things'll harm me
'Cause they sure don't act like Barney
And they think that I'm their dinner, not their friend
Oh no

I think this is from quite an old book, published back when it wasn't all that clear that birds descended from Theropods. I seem to remember seeing it somewhere before, but I might be wrong about that.
UPDATE - Where've I been, my other hobbies, and how to navigate my Flickr:
