Dragon Tales

Another reviewer seems to dislike or not understand children's television. There are so many shows today showing unpleasant and inappropriate behavior to our children, even under the guise of Y7 rated shows. Most of the cartoons on Toon Disney, for instance, revolve around the hero of the show defeating bad guys, who almost universally do and say mean things to the hero or other innocent people. I dislike my children watching these shows, as they don't need to be exposed to that kind of mean behavior influence. Yes, the hero always wins, but I'm not sure the kids always understand that almost everything the bad guy says is something that they should not say. On Dragon Tales, the themes usually include a problem that requires teamwork to solve, and always have a nice ending. I have never had problems with my kids emulating a bad behavior from that show.

"I wish, I wish, with all my heart to fly with Dragons in a land apart!"

I love Dragon Tales! It's the best show on PBS. I watch it all the time with my kids and they love the songs. The songs do get stuck you your head but hey that's better then listening to the 'Teletubbies!'

I'm also glad that they added new characters to the show.

This is a show that stresses problem solving for young children. A six yr. old girl and her four yr old brother travel with the help of a dragon scale to a Dragonland and interact/play with four young dragons. The dragons' teacher helps direct them when they are having difficulty with their challenges. The music is fairly repetitive, and can be a bit much for parents, but it is great for kids. This show is a nice change from much of the programming aimed at these kids.

Dragon Tales is a gift from a loving deity. All I have to do is pop the DVDs in, and my 2 year old gives me and my wife time to ourselves. The shows are cute, funny, and teach children how to share, how to cooperate, and how to face their fears. This show ranks second only to Sesame Street.
