Editorial Review:

Description:
Focusing on accepting differences. 'Not Separated at Birth' -- Zak and Wheezie are bickering over what they'll build for the new playground - the xylophone slide or the drum trampolines. When they wish they had separate bodies, Quetzal gives them some magic crystals -- and their wish comes true! But when Wheezie's slide collapses because she didn't follow directions, she misses Zak's patient input. Zak makes the trampoline so loose and saggy that Cassie and Emmy can't jump on it and he misses Wheezie, who always knows how to make things fun. 'The Greatest Show in Dragon Land' -- The kids and dragons are really excited about flying to Wonder World amusement park. When they find out Zak and Wheezie have a broken wing and are unable to fly, however, they agree to accommodate their friends by walking there instead. 'A Tall Tale' -- Eunice the unicorn, who is terribly near-sighted, has lost her glasses, and Max and Emmy join the dragons to help her find them. Max wants to steer Eunice so she can see where she's flying, but he's too small to climb up on her back. And when they spot an object that looks like her glasses, he's too short to reach it. Poor Max, who was already feeling frustrated about being too little to do the things he wants, feels even worse. The three adventures in Dragon Tales: We're Special! are linked by two songs, 'Shake Your Dragon Tale' and 'Hello.'

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - My Children Love this Tape - a review of Dragon Tales "We're Special"
I don't get it. Dragon Tales is one of the shows my children are allowed to watch on a regular basis, and yet they prefer this tape to the actual show. Go figure.

In any case, there are 3 episodes on this tape and 2 songs. The "Editorial Reviews" does an okay job in describing the first show but misses on it's summary of the other 2 stories.

First story -- Zak and Wheezie find out that being separate is not all they thought it would be. They find instead that they work ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The impact on my 2 year old!!
I don't favor for a child to sit infront of a t.v. all day. But for a few choice programs I found suitable for Evan were those on PBS. Dragon Tales shows fundamentals in understanding the difference in all those around us and the relationships between each other. Stories of conquering fear, dissapointment, discouragment and sharing and using your mind are explained quite clear in their programming. My son may only be 2 but he had grasped so much. I give Dragon Tales a 10!!!!!!!!!!
