Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Three big cheers for three animated cartoons depicting two friendly kids and their magical dragon buddies encouraging each other to learn new skills. In each 12-minute episode, Emmy and her little brother, Max, wish their way to Dragon Land, a sunny, sparkling place where Barneyesque dragons accompany the kind children on various life-lesson adventures. Zak, half of a two-headed dragon, works through his embarrassment to learn swimming; Cassie, a favorite among three- to six-year-old girls, learns roller skating out of necessity; and the rather large, rather daft Ord overcomes his initial disappointment with bike riding.
From the creators of Sesame Street, Dragon Tales easily breaks through the monotonous contrivances that sadly muddy so many other well-drawn but poorly executed kid videos. This upbeat television series relies neither on pun-filled dialogue nor sourpuss friends, impossible bullies nor stereotyped siblings to carry the action. Rather, it combines smart, realistic dialogue (regardless of the fantasy element), beautiful animation, and creative storytelling. Other nice touches include stand-up-and-sing segments (each about 2 minutes long) between episodes and a 3-part credit roll at the tape's end. --Liane Thomas

Average Rating: 
Rating: - One of the best in the series
This video has it all. Two inspiring Dragon Tunes, and 3 episodes of "Never-say-die" action. Never mind that "A Feat on her Feet" has Cassie singing a parody of Jingle Bells...The other two stories on the tape are nursery-rhyme-parody free (with only a short stint of the original lyrics of "Ring-a-round-the-rosie" in "Zak takes a dive", and only the first 5 words to the song "Rain, rain, go away" in "A liking to biking" (the song was promply interrupted by Max exclaiming "And don't come back!"). ...

Playful. Delightful collection of stories, songs, kind characters. Shows friends being supportive and positive as younger characters learn new skills. Presented in segments with breaks in between that allow the kids to dance and sing. Ages 2-5.

Rating: - Great Fun
My 2 1/2 year old grand-daughter and I love to watch Dragon Tales together when I go to visit. She can't get enough of the songs and the cute dragons. I love watching her sing along and play along with the dragons as they teach her good manners and ethics. I can't wait to find a new tape in the stores so I can take her a "suurprize" when I go visit. She likes Cassie the best but they are all cute to watch. I hope more of this "good entertainment" is made so we can share more hours of fun together.
Rating: - A great positive role-model for the "I can'ts"
Fun, upbeat and educational. Another Dragon Tales winner! In our house, we try to avoid the "I can'ts". These three Dragon Tales episodes have given our 3-year old something to relate to when she doesn't succeed at something new. Each of the three stories shows the intrinsic rewards of sticking-with something until you master it. It also provides a great upbeat song "Yes you can" to sing along with your kids when they are about to say "I can't do it!". Another plus is that the video is long ... Read More
