He created these wonderful stories and published them in 1992 & 1995 respectively. James published two other “Dinotopia” books – “First Flight” 1999 and “Journey to Chandara” 2007. I will have to…

Valentine’s Day – Dinosaurs, Chocolate, Flowers & Great Music
Raphael makes heart shape brownies from a recipe my Grandmother & Mother used when I was a little kid. Using Bisquick instead of flour makes them rise. I’m not sure if the recipe came from the side of a box of Bisquick or not, it was so many years ago. I’ve attached the recipe for…
Training Your Metal Dinosaur
When you bring your metal dinosaur home, give him time to get use to his new surroundings. Then you can start training. Dinosaurs are very intelligent and sensitive animals. As a result “sit”, “lay down” and “roll over” won’t fly. However, “Stay” seems to work extremely well. They actually really enjoy that request. So much,…
Dinosaurs at Family Story Time – Camarillo Public Library
The book reading Tuesday Night at the City of Camarillo Public Library was a success. The kids were great and had lots of questions. They all had their favorite dinosaur – T-Rex, Velociraptor, Pteranodon and Brontosaurus (now know as Apatosaurus). I know, I really liked the Brontosaurus name meaning “Thunder Lizard” much more. But that’s…

A person makes a promise to do an act of self-improvement or something nice, such as opening doors for people from New Year’s…

Rainy Days & Chilly December Nights – What can a Dinosaur do?
Actually, I enjoy a rainy day with or without an umbrella. The cool rain falling on your face and the fresh air the rain brings. If you live in Southern California or other areas impacted by drought, it’s certainly something to look forward to with a smile. Our water company had a special offer for…
