Looks like Dr. Pritchard is still getting set up, and it's a quiet morning, so I'll throw in a few suggestions.

There are two different approaches. To deal with the creationist questions/objections, an excellent source of information is Talk Origins, which has an extensive collection of Creationist claims and debunking.

For more general information, the original Origin of Species is a good source, though it's rather out of date and doesn't address genetics.

What age group were you looking at for books? For the 8-13 year old range, Evolution: How We and All Living Things Came to Be is decent, though a bit simplistic. For somewhat older audiences (high school/undergraduate) Evolution: The Story of Life on Earth is very approachable and a fun read. I can suggest others, but that should get you started.

Evolution - how we and all living things came to be. Also Pterosaur (sp) Trouble by the same author as well.

>That's all fine, but I don't understand why both sides can't be heard. Children should be presented with both sides and decide for themselves.

Let's do it. I'll show up at your kid's Sunday/home school with this, ready to go.

OK, folks may call me a nut, but you might want to try Evolution by Loxton. It's for younger readers, but you could literally jumpstart yourself in an hour.

Then, read Why Evolution is True by Jerry Coyne as well as The Greatest Show on Earth by Dawkins.

Honorable mention goes to Dawkins' An Ancestor's Tale.

Although it's targeted for grades 5-8, you could consider getting this fantastic illustrated book by Daniel Loxton: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1554534305

Just give your daughter kids some good counterarguments and let her them decide for herself themselves. Intelligence, skepticism and a good education trumps weak arguments and religious indoctrination.

Edit:

Also, posting this in /r/atheistparents and /r/atheism (spelling!) might give a better response (1,100,000+ subscribers instead of 300+).

I find introducing evolution through childrenś books the best way to counter religious propaganda.

This book is recommended by Skeptic.com. Their Junior Skeptic Magazine is written for kids, but does not talk down to them.

> to be fair

I had to look up what Bibleman was. It's being described as "influencing young children into practicing Christianity". I don't think you have to let him watch anything that pushes the practice of a religion in a fairness attempt. Kids are impressionable, as you mentioned. I'd just go with the educational, comparative-religion route.

> books on evolution

My child is the same age and I have this one so far. It's very much like a school textbook, though. I either need to switch from reading it at night to reading it when my child is fresh and awake, or get something lighter and quicker for bedtime, or both.
