I was obsessed with these books, and every time I re-read them I remember why: who WOULDN'T want to live in such a culturally rich and exciting utopia full of dinosaurs?!? Still remember pedaling furiously down the hill in my old neighborhood on a bike that I had re-named Cumulus, imagining myself as an intrepid Skybax rider on my faithful saurian steed. Gurney's artwork and world-building are nothing short of delightful.
