The best secular dinosaur book I could find that limited presention of theory as fact. It was great at presenting general information such as when discovered, where, size, names and meaning of names etc. All references to age and theories was contained to one chapter at the end. I loved it because it left room for the kids to learn more about dinosaurs and not the debate between evolution and creatioin.
