Children's Dinosaur Books

["Jerry D. Harris" <jdharris@dixie.edu>]

Hi All -

   I've been asked to compile a list of dinosaur books aimed at children. 
I'm assuming here that this means younger kids (probably ages 5-10 ish); I 
include older kids in the same category as "interested adults" for the 
purposes of proposing books.  While I'm fairly familiar with the latter, I 
have no children (other than cats, and they don't read much) and so really 
don't keep up on the world of dinosaur books aimed at them.  I've been 
unsuccessful in tracking down a recent list of books-in-print that are, for 
lack of a better word, "paleontologist approved."  That is, I don't want to 
be recommending books that have disinformation in them (out-of-date info 
isn't quite as bad, andI can notate that on the list) or that are just 
poorly put together.  Does anyone know of such a list?  Failing that, does 
anyone out there with kid's book experience have any recommendations?  Feel 
free to e-mail me off-list so as not to clutter the list with a zillion 
individual responses.  If anyone's interested, I'll forward a complete list 
when I compile it.  Thanks in advance!
