your first paleon book was: well darn

[Jane P Davidson <jdhexen@unr.edu>]

Actually, I would be interested to hear from folks about what their first book 
on paleontology, for children or not, was.  As a matter of a little research, 
if you would like to share with me, you can write off list if you want.  Mine 
was R.C. Andrews'  All About Dinosaurs,   followed soon by C. L. Fenton's Life 
Long Ago.

The How & Why Wonderbook of Dinosaurs was my first ever dinosaur book. My
mom & grandma read to me from it.
