small theropods

["Jaime Headden" <jaemei@hotmail.com>]

There seems to be a rash of "children and dinos" going around, so I 
guess it had to be my turn.

I need some help here. I'm doing a project for the local library in 
setting up a display about dinosaurs, and this includes large 
assemblages of the groups: hadrosaurs, ceratopsians, theropods, 
stegosaurs, etc.. But I can't seem to decide on who I will use for the 
small theropods bit. I need theropods that average six feet long, can be 
recognized by children as different from each other, but can be strange, 
unusual, and common, and I need only about six to ten of them. And try 
to vary the groups each belongs to. They also have to be of reasonable 
completeness (including a partial or complete skull).

Don't include *Velociraptor*! He's already on the list.

Don't include euavians or enantiornithines and the like! Dromies are as 
close as I'm getting to birds. (Yep, that's where I stand on that issue. 
No comments, please.)

Send me a list off the list.
