Review: Spoiled by evolution.....

I got this thinking it would be neat to show to my sons. The first page is a definitive account of the evolution of dinosaurs. We don’t believe in evolution, and I don’t appreciate “science” books promoting it as if it were fact. The truth is that the more ACTUAL science we know, the more it points out that evolution is NOT true and there has to be a grand designer.The first picture is of a tyrannosaur, it’s a great picture, then after that, they aren’t so great and didn’t hold my children’s attention any more. There’s a lot of words per page, topics covering scientific classification, feeding habits, social habits, habitats, mating and offspring, communication, instincts, and the most and leasts. The idea of the book was to have a comprehensive information book like we have for other non-extinct animals in a form that children could understand. The way these things were written, however, puts it at least in fifth grade understanding, if not middle school, and those youth probably don’t want a picture book. It could make a great homeschool text, having a quiz at the end.
