It's an exciting year in science, and I've been looking for materials for the Beagle that might help expand some minds while aiding our bottom line. I've already made a list of evolution books (to which I'm still adding), but I was dreading trying to do the same for children's books. With certain exceptions, children's books and I have just never gotten on. Now, needing to find any available children's titles about Darwin, evolution, and related subjects, I was afraid that I would be very much on my own.
Thanks to Dr Kate Miller at Charlie's Playhouse, not only am I not alone, but I have a list of ninety books to look at.
If you're a parent or an educator, or even just concerned about properly scientific educational toys for children, you should take a look at Charlie's Playhouse. Not only do they sell some interesting products (the Ancient Creature Cards look very cool), but Dr Miller also maintains a blog and provides a list of resources for parents and educators.
If you need materials to help educate children about evolution, then take a look!
Tip of the ski pole to... er... well, embarassingly, I can't remember the site on which I first found the link to Dr Miller's site. When I do, I'll put it up here. It was probably that blasted Pharyngula again...
