Customer Reviews

A creative story featuring a strong little girl
Maggie is an intrepid 5 year old girl with a strong mind of her own. If that's not enough to get you interested in this series, then the fact that she creates and reads maps, has a menagerie of imaginary friends, and deals with everyday issues with grace and humor should do it. The pacing, script (by originator Betty Paraskevas) and story lines are perfect for preschoolers. This is a great gift choice for young children. We know a little boy who's obsessed with Maggie and her adventures in Nowhere Land.

Preschool videos
Maggie and the Ferocious Beast is wonderful - my 3 year old daughter loves it and my 7 year old daughter will occasionally watch it with her as well (it's more enduring than Elmo in other words). This was a good DVD but I think some others in the series are a little better because this one has a lot of episodes from when the series first started and they got better over time. However, it is not a bad buy and my daughter has still enjoyed it.

4.5 year old girl loves it
Having watched this series on Noggin, I purchased this DVD for my daughter. She really like the series, and there is no reason to think that this DVD is anything but perfect. Great diversity in episodes, the only thing I think is unusual is the format where there is 90 minutes of Maggie, but broken up into 4 "episodes" of 3 skits each. Not a big deal, just thought it was unusual when you go to repeat it - it is only 3 of the 12.
