After over a year of seaching, I stumbled onto this book. It's the ONLY one I can find which presents accurate information about dinosaurs from a Christian perspective, without falling into young-earth creationist propoganda. Great pictures and up-to-date scientific data. Appropriate for grades 3 through 5 to read to themselves. Younger children will enjoy the pictures. It's not exactly a "read-to-me" book, however.

I am always skeptical about buying books with a Christian point of view on topics such as dinosaurs, due to varying opinions on how old they are, how old the earth is, etc. This book gives a lot of great detailed information that a child age 8-12 can easily understand. Both young earth and old earth positions are stated but the authors of this book tend to lean towards the old earth view. That's great if you want your child to believe that science is accurate and not a bunch of "propaganda" when it comes to dinosaurs and the age of the earth (and be accurate on every other topic). There is alot of documented scientific evidence that is presented and hard to dispute that it makes this book a great resource for the Christian child who wants to learn more about these fascinating creatures God created!
