Dragon Tales - Let's Share! Let's Play!
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
