After being shipwrecked, explorer Arthur Denison and his son Will are beached on an island where dinosaurs and humans co-exist in a magnificent civilization. Father and son record the biology, technology, and customs of this strange world in journal entries, abundantly supplemented by lavish color illustrations. The text is less an involving story than a detailed catalog of Dinotopia discoveries.
