Max and Emmy, best-loved siblings of the sandbox set, dust off their dragon scale a crowd-pleasing five times for Don't Give Up. From a parent's perspective, that adds up to five recitations of the magic rhyme to come back home until next time, which equals the same count of tricky life lessons tucked into a child's belt. From preschoolers' vantage point, it means a quintuple scoop of dragon play dates amid the show's sherbet-hued scenery. "Pigment of Your Imagination" pits the gang against a broken map; "Backwards to Forwards" sends Dragonland into topsy-turvy tailspins; "Sand Castle Hassle" tests the troop's perseverance as the homes they craft for turtles topple; "Tails You Lose" lets the wind out of Emmy's idea that winning is everything; and "Bully for You" gets to the bottom of what's really bothering a scaly green meanie. A sing-along segment and subtitles sweep this PBS program squarely into satisfaction-guaranteed territory. --Tammy La Gorce

Filled with imagination, fun and a moral to every story.......2002-01-19
My 2 1/2 year old daughter loves this cartoon, and I must admit that I do too! We own all three Dragon Tale DVD's. This DVD has a better format than the "let's share, let's play" DVD. With this DVD, you can choose to play all episodes, choose your own episode, or play the sing alongs. Each of the five episodes included here play one right after the other. I gave it four stars instead of five for that reason. It would have been nice if they had a sing along after each episode so the flow matches that of the TV series.
There is so many imaginative things here that it will be sure to capture any child's attention. Bottom line: You can't go wrong with this one for a boy or a girl!
