He did a whole book of paleoart a couple decades ago! An Alphabet of Dinosaurs . My favorite in there is the Oviraptor. When many reconstructions at the time depicted it eating eggs, Barlowe wanted to show some different behavior, painted it munching on a crab.
Ratha's Creature probably around 10 (I don't have kids, could be wrong on the age.
This made a huge impression on me as a kid.
There is a book about this exact thing!
"We Don't Eat Our Classmates" by Ryan T. Higgins
Yep, and you can take any bullying book and make it about biting too. Change the words to be “bite” instead of what’s written.
Our son really likes “we don’t eat our classmates” because it has a T-Rex.
I’m not entering I just wanted to share this awesome dinosaur pop up book because I bought it for my nephew for Xmas and it’s amazing!

This part of the map made me wish for a Dinotopia map, Waterfall City would be fucking epic. ;)
BTW: If you don't know what Dinotopia is then wtf are you doing playing Ark? Nah, seriously look it up, if you like Ark for dinosaurs it should be right up your alley (but read the award winning book, preferably illustrated).
Evolution: How We and All Living Things Came To Be.
Life Story - a history of Earth and you.

I find introducing evolution through childrenś books the best way to counter religious propaganda.
Dinoblock is awesome. Cute but has a lot of different dinos in it. One of my daughters favorites dinoblock
Also second the recommendation of the American Museum of Natural History series. I have the ABC Universe one. abc universe
> to be fair
I had to look up what Bibleman was. It's being described as "influencing young children into practicing Christianity". I don't think you have to let him watch anything that pushes the practice of a religion in a fairness attempt. Kids are impressionable, as you mentioned. I'd just go with the educational, comparative-religion route.
> books on evolution
My child is the same age and I have <em>this</em> one so far. It's very much like a school textbook, though. I either need to switch from reading it at night to reading it when my child is fresh and awake, or get something lighter and quicker for bedtime, or both.
Up to the second edit pass on my novel w/ a gryphon as the main character... but that probably doesn't count.
Ratha's Creature kicks off a series of books with what are basically prehistoric cats as the main characters. Quite good stuff, and Clare Bell is a very nice person - met her a couple of times at conventions.
> s'. I'd recommend the film version, because it's extremely easy to find on the internet, but the books go more in depth. Be warned though, It is extremely gory and errr explicit. > > > > Also, I'm not familiar with Ratha and Google is not
I do! I loved Watership Down, The Sight, and other books like that. I'll have to see if the bookstore has it. :3
Ratha is about ancient cat-like creatures. Some of them have learned to communicate, but others don't know how to, so they have kind of separated themselves from others. I don't remember much details since I read it so long ago, but I know it has several books and the first one is called "Ratha's Creature".
Hope this helps!
WTF? You must have been a prodigy, because I was a pretty sharp kid and at 6 or 7 I was still reading "Danny and the Dinosaur."
You know what? I'm gonna have to go ahead and call BS on this one. You are either mistaken, or just lying because no 6-year-old child could read and understand Huckleberry Finn, unless it was an abridged version re-written for kids. We read this in my 12th grade advanced English class.
I personally love Dinosaur Bob in all his various versions (many board books). The linked hardcover is the most complete story. I love William Joyce's illustrations, and there is a Dinosaur Bob song at the end (sung to the tune of Auld Lang Syne).
>He's Bob, the best old Bob, the big-gest Bob you've ev-er seen.
>He's Me-so-zo-ic and he-ro-ic and he's real-ly green.
>Yes, large and green and so se-rene,
>He's gen-tle and he's sweet,
>And when the mu-sic plays for him, he stamps his migh-ty feet.
>[everyone pounds the floor]
>He's Bob, the best old Bob, the big-gest Bob you'll ev-er know.
>He's Me-so-zo-ic and he-ro-ic,
>And we love him so.
Doctor Who fans will be happy to know Bob wears a fez for a portion of the book. It switches to a baseball cap when he plays baseball.
