I remember adoring this as a kid, and when I re-found it as an adult, it remained beautiful and inspiring. Gurney's illustrations are among the best in any children's literature, exquisitely detailed, full of so much life and colour. I heartily recommend this book for all dinosaur fans, young and old. (  ) RogueBelle | Jul 10, 2009 |  What young boy isn' t nuts for dinosaurs? Despite the regrettable glut of sequels, pop-up books, etc., Dinotopia is still a modern kids classic, a Utopia where (Victorian-era) humans and dinosaurs co-exist peacefully. Imaginative illustrations by the author. Makifat | Jan 28, 2008 | A beautiful book that is great for putting out on the coffee table or reading with a kid. It has a cute story, but the art is what makes it really worthwhile. ( )1  Nikkles | Jan 19, 2008 | Dinotopia is a beautifully illustrated book, describing a hidden island where dinosaurs and humans live together. It is written in journal form, as recorded by the newly arrived Arthur Denison. The journal story does have a running plot, but that isn't the main appeal of the book. It is the discussion of the new culture and the artwork that make the book stand out. ( ) Polenth | Dec 14, 2007 | I think that this is the best Dinotopia book of them all. The pictures are so beautiful! I love the story, and I am so excited for the fourth book. ( ) minifiend | Sep 2, 2007 |  no reviews | add a review

Welcome to James Gurney's fantastic lost world of Dinotopia, where humans and intelligent dinosaurs have lived together in harmony for centuries, undiscovered by the rest of the world. Now these New York Times bestselling books are available from HarperCollins. The Dinotopia books are a celebration of the imagination for readers of all ages. In 1862, biologist Arthur Denison and his young son Will are washed up on the shore of an uncharted island, where they discover humans and an ancient race of dinosaurs sharing a civilization of wonder and adventure.
