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
