A lighthearted collection of homespun wisdom from dinosaurs, featuring beautifully painted scenes from the New York Times bestselling Dinotopia books by author James Gurney.

As the original dominant species on planet Earth, what advice might dinosaurs have for another species on the possible verge of extinction? And who better than to bring language to tyrant lizards than James Gurney, whose Dinotopia books have sold millions of copies over the last three decades.

Gurney, a painter, instructor, and storyteller, adds a philosopher’s touch to this gift book, perfect for anyone looking to a bygone era for a bit of life advice and perspective. You’ll marvel at these Triassic truisms, Jurassic aphorisms, and Mesozoic meditations.
