Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Maggie is a girl that both boys and girls can admire. She is kind, intelligent and resourceful. She likes adventures, makes up fun games and helps her friends Hamilton Hocks and The Ferocious Beast; and though Hamilton and Beast don't often see eye-to-eye, Hamilton loves to cook and the Beast loves to eat, so that works out too. The three friends wander through Nowhere Land, a fun place populated with interesting creatures.
This DVD contains six Maggie and the Ferocious Beast adventures: Beastly Picture, where the Beast accidentally destroys a picture Maggie has painted of him; Big Duck, about judging someone -- say, a big duck -- that you've only just met; Hamilton's Pet, about loving wild creatures without caging them; My One and Only Box, about Hamilton's security issues; Mr. Shivers, about the friends' snowman acquaintance and their magical snowglobe; and King of Nowhere Land, about the rights and responsibilities of leadership -- it's lonely at the top!
Each of these charming stories is 7-1/2 to 8-1/2 minutes long. You can play them individually or choose to play them all in succession. Audio is in English or Spanish, and subtitles are available in English (a nice feature for early readers). There are also several trailers for other DVDs.
While the episodes are absolutely wonderful, it would have been nice to get some information about the voice talent. Also, instead of just a cover sheet with episodes listed, why not insert some puzzles or stories for kids?
Preschool and toddler boys and girls will enjoy these tales of adventure, and they will see some entertaining lessons about friendship. Very well done indeed.
