If you check your kids' treat bags from Darwin Day (hopefully they got some), there should have been a Kids' reading list.  Books are listed for each age range and there's a little blurb about Darwin at the top.  It also lists some cool websites that kids find interesting.

I can get an electronic copy if  you are interested.

Does anyone have any suggestions for good children's books that introduce the topics of Darwin, evolution or actual history?  I'm not looking for an anti-religious slant, just ones independent from traditional religious or mythological belief.

It's easy to find children's books on the alphabet, on animals, plants & taxonomy, on the human body, on space, on the earth, and on technology.  It's easy to find books based on the bible.  Surprisingly, it's also easy to find children's books based on Greek, Roman, Native American, Asian, "naturalist", or other pagan mythology.  I've found surprisingly few books that attempt to introduce the topics of evolution, geological history, classical history, or post-classical history in an entertaining way for kids.

My kids are 7 and 4 years old.  I realize I should have asked this question at Darwin Day, but it didn't cross my mind because I didn't have my kids with me.
