I'm a (reformed) college bio instructor, so I can come up with some decent books on modern biology and evolution aimed for the adult non-scientist, but I'm having trouble finding good books on evolution targeted for kids, say of middle-school age (10-13).
The two books that I see referenced most frequently are:
Life on Earth: The Story of Evolution, by Steve Jenkins
Eyewitness: Evolution (Eyewitness Books), by DK Publishing
And of course I have Larry Gonick's Cartoon History of the Universe and Darwin for Beginners. Does anyone have any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance...

Pharyngula
PZ Myers has a pretty good list of books for evolutionists. I think he has a more up to date list but I can't find it.
This has 6 or so children's books.

You can try to find his updated list here, I give up:
pharyngula | ScienceBlogs
Infidels has a good list too, not sure what children's books are there:

Re: Pharyngula
I've seen PZ's list, that's actually where I picked up the Jenkins book.
Thanks, I'll check out the Infidels list as well. I was hoping some of the other godless evilutionists with kids here on EvC could give me some pointers...
