This vaguely reminds me of a book series that used to be in the library of my elementary school. 'Captain Toad', I think it was called. It was about an amphibian adventurer that roamed the galaxy righting wrongs. Nothing as cool as a space-traveling dinosaur, but it was pretty fun stuff - one book, I remember, had the heroes saved from a giant alien sea serpent by the token female crewmember, who happened to be a trained opera singer - and sea monsters LOVE opera, apparently. If you run across any of them, you should check it out. And just a thought - before the last page had fully loaded and I saw the wings, I thought that spaceship was actually a zeppelin. So I thought 'whoa, SWEET, a dinosaur who travels through space in a zeppelin!' My hopes were dashed, obviously, by the rest of the page, but I maintain that, had I been right, that would have multiplied the coolness factor by ten. Also, good to know that I'm not the only one here who looks in the kid's section. Where else am I supposed to find my Freddy the Pig books?
