Emmy and her little brother Max learn the basic lessons of young childhood with the help of their dragon buddies in this PBS series. Whenever earthly life gets a little overwhelming or puzzling, the pair chant their way to a make-believe land where the wise elder Quetzal and some young flying lizards help them solve problems. Although two of the five titles use adult word play ("Much Ado About Nodlings," "The Fury Is Out on This One"), the humor and storytelling are strictly for the kids. Cooperation, understanding the consequences of one's actions, sibling compromise, and anger-management lessons for tots are at the top of the agenda. Puppet shows, magical creatures, and Zak and Wheezie (the two-headed brother-sister dragon) help teach the lessons. The advantage of the DVD format is that each 12-minute segment can be viewed independently, without the kids getting tempted by the next episode. The disadvantage: Until the little ones get the hang of the remote controls, you have to be there every 12 minutes to start the next episode. DVD features include three 90-second sing-alongs designed to get the kids up and dancing. (Ages 3 to 7) --Kimberly Heinrichs

4.0 out of 5 stars Love it, August 10, 2001

By A Customer

This is great. I only wish that it would continue to play all 5 episodes. Unlike the 1st dragontales DVD, after an episode plays, it goes back to the menu instead of playing all 5 continuously.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Picks, August 25, 2004

My kids love this DVD, the only complaint I have is that the 5 different stories don't play continuously, we have to play each one separately

I love this DVD because it has five full episodes and it's great learning entertainment for my toddler. He already knows the Dragon Tales song by heart! It's family entertainment and I rarely have the TV on regular programming anymore because I'm always afraid there's going to be some violent scene popping up.

Every episode has a lesson and my son really loves it. It's age appropriate for children 3 or older, I would say. A great choice with nice episode selection!

Recommended!
