I think that might be a Dinotopia book? I seem to recall something similar in one of those, and that seems like the only series from pre-2000 with intelligent dinosaurs that I can remember.

Some searching turns up “Return to Lost City”. I don’t think that’s it, as I seem to recall the people involved didn’t actually know that dinosaurs were alive, and the style of the Dinotopia books—many of which I’ve read—is different from what I remember. On the other hand, my memory is fuzzy enough that I could be imagining that stuff, so thank you very much for the answer. I’ll take a look at it.

Meanwhile, I’m open to any other suggestions!

Addendum: it was published on the 24th of August, 2000, and the plot summary mentions that the heroes “return to visit their old friends”, so it seems unlikely to be the right book. :-(

Dinosaur World, by Stephen Leigh?

Yes! Just finished (re)reading it, and I’m quite sure this is what I was thinking of.

Thank you so much, anonymous IP user!
