In the latest Dinotopia installment, Professor Denison and Saurian Bix venture eastward to Chandara, exploring Dinotopia along the way. Creative settings and unusual creatures may hook some readers, but the story often halts in favor of description and much of the narration reads like summary. Lifelike illustrations and diagrams and are the book's greatest strength.
