Dinotopia is a Must for Boys’ Libraries

I was very pleased to stumble upon a copy of Dinotopia the other day in my wife’s book collection. It is a paperback book that poses as a scientist’s lost sketchbook that details mid 19th century life on an uncharted island where humans and dinosaurs live in harmony.

The book espouses quite a few liberal ideals such as veganism, environmental stewardship (it mentions that the lumber for a treehouse city all came from trees that were knocked down in a storm) and commune labor and thinking, which annoys me a bit- but the artwork and imagination of an island where people interact with dinosaurs is too fantastic of an idea to pass up. It will definitely be added to my son’s library.

The detailed artwork on dinosaurs makes this book a must have for children and adults alike. You can get yours here.
