<< Actually, I would be interested to hear from folks about what  their first 
book on paleontology, for children or not, was. >>

Christmas 1954, _All About Dinosaurs_ by RCA from my  grandfather, 
followed-up by a trip to the library and _Life Through the Ages_by  Charles R. 
Knight. 
At the same time a new television show called "Disneyland"  ran the Rite of 
Spring sequence from "Fantasia". That was an awfully big dose  for a 
five-year-old kid and I loved it.
_All About  Dinosaurs_ was wife Marcia's first dinosaur book, also. DV
