Historinhas de Dragões

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.

These beautiful dragons who have been co-designed with Ron Rodecker, famous dragon artist, teach children how to get along. My favorite episode is #133A "Not Separated At Birth" In this one Zak and Wheezie disagree with each other so much that they separate- with the help of magic crystals.

My only vice: Throughout season 3, there was a recurring theme that was repeated throughout several episodes- following directions. Guess the writers got sick and tired of people not following directions.

The show is set in Dragonland, a continent of some size on a different world, possibly a different dimension. [the writers are careful not to ruin the backplot] Emmy and Max find a dragon scale in their new house's playroom, which transports them to this peaceful magical place, and they've been going there since.

"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.

"I wish, I wish, to use this ride, to go back home until next time."

Dragon Tales is the kind of show that grabs most kid's attention and holds it for the duration. The show attempts to teach things like courtesy and empathy while the main characters have adventures in a fantasy world where dragons are the norm and children are rare, exotic creatures. Voice work is nice and the general look and feel of Dragonland is nice. Though the animation is not outstanding, I doubt kids notice or care how many frames it takes for a scene fade. I can't believe the other user comment I read that totally puts down the show. I'm sure most adults would find little entertainment value in a show that targets such a young audience, but that says nothing about the quality of the show for young kids. If you're looking for something clean and light for your toddler (and up), Dragon Tales is a great choice.
