Saturday’s Book – Dinotopia by James Gurney

We own the first two books of this amazing series. It’s a wonderful fantasy of an isolated place where humans and dinosaurs coexist in harmony. They share language and technology and friendship ( I love the dinosaur character that’s an interpreter!).

This series is very special in that not only is it a good story but the pictures are amazing, and are an integral part of the story. You MUST look at the pictures (spend time looking at them) in order to get all the information.

Our boys and I had such a good time with it that for a while I tried to translate it into Hebrew. I did  a section and even discussed it with a publisher who loved the story ( her kids loved it too!) . However,  after looking at the large format and the amount of drawings in color said there was no point in even contacting the publisher. The Hebrew speaking book market is too small to support such an expensive publication.

Too bad…
