Dragon Tunes, the record, aims to fire up 2- to 6-year-old fans of the fantasy-fueled PBS show with a herd of uptempo original tunes, and it largely succeeds. Culled on the 20-track collection are good-timey, get-you-moving numbers such as "Wiggle Song," which invites movement and active listening through its directive to "Wiggle your fingers / Wiggle your toes / Wiggle your hands and / Wiggle your nose." Then there's "Touch," which has the keep-up-if-you-can lyric, "Touch your elbows / Touch your bum-bum / Touch your kneecaps / Try to keep in touch," as well as confidence-builders such as "Betcha Can" and "Try" ("And though you may be small / Each day you're growing up / And you'll be big and tall / 'Till then just strut your stuff"). Kids who carry a dragon torch for certain characters won't waste time fast-forwarding to "The Ord Shuffle," "Cassie," or the Zak-and-Wheezie-celebrating "Be a Dragon." Others will want to wag their dragon tails track by track, starting with the familiar-to-all opener "Dragon Tales Theme." Because the series devotes a segment of every half-hour show to singing and dancing, more than just the theme song will be familiar, though--something that serves to further the record's appeal. Another appeal-enhancing feature is the persistent presence of former Ohio Express singer Joey Levine as the songwriter. Parents who can recall such bubblegum hits as the Express's "Chewy Chewy" will likely chime in on Levine's cheery vibe. Like most kid-show soundtracks, this album is low on art, high on spunk, but given the instant grins it'll register, loving parents can't be helped from wondering, so what? --Tammy La Gorce

Shake Your Dragon Tale! November 25, 2007
E. D. Norton (New York)
Our daughter loves dancing and playing to the songs on this disc. It's upbeat for her and not too sugary or chirpy for us. Tons of good beats to encourage a developing sense of rhythm and movement. Excellent for playtime!

Mommy of Two
This is a great children's CD from the Dragon Tales series. It has the original songs on it (ones my 6-year-old grew up on). We play this CD over and over and never seem to tire of it. It's our favorite CD - even my 2-year-old loves it.
Great CD for Dragon Tales fans! August 9, 2007
Rooster's Mom (Albuquerque, NM)
If you or your children like the music played on the Dragon Tales show, this CD is a must! I must admit that I bought if for myself because I was sick of the same old "Wheels on the bus" "Old McDonald" type music that is marketed for kids. But once my son heard it the first time, he asked for it again and again and again. It's very upbeat (with the exception of a couple of mellower songs) so it's a great CD to get out the kids energy. Highly recommend it!
 Wonderful, a real lifesaver! June 21, 2007
James Blas (Somewhere in the United States)
I got this cd for my son during about three years ago on a vacation. He was three back then. He's almost six now, and he still loves listening to it, and so do we, his parents. No matter how many times we listen to it, it never gets boring, and we even got my 1 1/2 year old nephew into it. My son's favorite song on this one is "Cassie." Mom and Dad like "Hello," "Doodli-Do," "Wake Up" and "Hum."
