Dragon Tales Dont Give Up

Product Description How do you teach a child to ride a bike? How do you help them overcome their fear of the dark? From the creators of Sesame Street, explore the magical world of Dragon Land with six-year-old Emmy, her brother Max and their dragon friends as they learn, share and face challenges in a series that offers a wonderful blend of fun, sing-along songs and lessons in life. In this volume, children learn how to handle rejection. Amazon.com 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
