    This Dragon is so Human!

    I wake up bleary eyed to coffee and the newspaper on Sunday mornings and with a click of the remote, here is Dragon, Beaver, Ostrich, Mail Mouse and all the little "people" inhabiting Dragon's life. This is a great show for a small child. The short vignettes are both childlike and full of human emotion, failings, accomplishments, and social interaction relative to a young child's development. I love this for my grandchild. Sprinkled with gentle bits of cinnamon and sugar humor, this blue dragon is a hit and a delight - where can I buy the CD? Thank you for this wonderful show!

    FUNNY!!!

    This show is much better (and friendlier) than that Avatar nonsense (kids need to stop watching that crud, it's too violent). Dragon is so funny (like what the below poster said), I enjoyed this marvel of a show!!! I think that Dragon is like Ren & Stimpy, SpongeBob SquarePants and Atomic Betty, but for much younger viewers, WAY TO GO!!!
