| Dinotopia: A Land Apart from Time by James Gurney |
This is a great book. It is about a father, Arthur Denison, and
his son, Will, being shipwrecked on a lost island with living dinosaurs;
it describes what life would be like if dinosaurs were around. It is fun
to read, it has great pictures, and it is really believable. You
can really think there is an island out there somewhere that still has
dinosaurs on it. I know I do... |
| Dinotopia: The World Beneath by James Gurney |
This is a continuation of the book Dinotopia above. It
describes more of what life would be like around the dinosaurs. It
also has wonderful pictures and a great story. |
| Dinotopia Lost by Alan Dean Foster |
This is another continuation of Dinotopia, six years after Arthur and
Will are shipwrecked; it focuses on more than just the Denisons, by describing
the every-day life of other dinosaurs and people, and another group of
newcomers to the island... |

view. |

This book is about three kids searching for adventure, and finding

This book is about a dinosaur and a kid, best friends, but always in
a competition against each other. One must always be better at something
than the other, and neither can admit defeat. Circumstances force

two young Habitat-Partner Apprentice wannabes have to save them. |
