There is a need for more resources to teach children and adults about the truth about how dinosaurs are just another part of God's Creation, not products of the "millions of years" of evolution that never were.952 Kelly Rd.

Perhaps I could reach out to the Kolbe Center and see if anyone there is interested in creating something like this?
I'll think more seriously about this once I'm done with the e-book on Russia, but these are my thoughts for now, and I think it's something worth sharing.
I would first like to see more triumphalist media centered around the Gospels and Saints, much like Gibson's The Passion, before Creationist accounts of dinosaurs. But, as a parent of a young boy who loves dinosaurs, it would be great to see more media directed towards the truth in this field.
It seems like in the realm of Catholicism, the Kolbe Center are the only ones talking about this. Everyone else, even many in tradlandia, seems to accept the mainstream explanations for dinosaurs.
Looking further for catholic creation books for kids I came across a lovely site, moreover in Australia, so no prohibitive postage costs, then digging deeper I came to this

Though it is not Catholic, doesn't the Creation Museum in Kentucky (near Cincinnati) deal in some of these themes?Indeed it does. My son took his family to visit. It is impressive. The sad thing is that folk will come to an understanding of the world and creation that is not the Catholic Understanding.

How so? If a Catholic believes in a literal six-day creation, and a young earth, how is that different from what they present at the Creation Museum?The whole point is that most Catholics do not believe in the literal six days and a young earth, or they are confused on the issue, or they believe in “theistic” evolution or even the “big bang” or they don’t care. Now, I think it’s great that people can be informed of the truth of Creation, and we do share much with Answers in Genesis in that knowledge but....

From the time of Adam until after Noah’s flood, the time and season was always green and tempered; and all that time men ate no flesh, for the herbs and fruits were then of great strength and effect, they were pure and nourishing. But after the flood the earth was weaker and brought not forth so good fruit, wherefore flesh was ordained to be eaten.

The museum is one offshoot of Answers in Genesis which was started by the Australian protestant, Ken Ham. It was through Answers in Genesis that our family came to understand the importance of the issue of the evolution / Creation. Then by the grace of God, we discovered Gerry Keane’s exposition of the Catholic doctrine of Creation.
I have searched Kolbe Foundation website and it seems they have no specific outreach into the education of children, through literature and other modern means. I believe that this is a serious lack for the Catholics.
I hope that St Louis, and other brightminds, can make some inroads into this crucial issue.
To date all of the real giants that we’ve known about have only been known from very fragmentary remains. And there is a geologic reason for this: If you can imagine an animal the size of a house and that animal dying and keeling over on a hard flood plain somewhere at that moment very little of its body is in contact with the earth, so very little of its skeleton actually has the opportunity to enter the fossil record before it’s either scavenged or weathered away.4 (https://answersingenesis.org/dinosaurs/types/dreadnoughtus-largest-confirmed-land-animal/#fn_4)
