This video has two of the more interesting episodes of Disney's wild, weird, and wonderful cartoon series "Darkwing Duck". The first one is called simply, "Negaduck", and is one of the two episodes that feature the origins of Negaduck. When Darkwing is struck by a ray from a tron-splitter, it seperates his positrons from his negatrons (the building blocks of good and evil), and cause him to seperate into his good side and his bad side. The interplay between the "two Darkwings" is hilarious ("Violence never solved anything!" "Yeah, but it sure makes me _feel_ better!"), and the villian Megavolt is in rare form. He even helps Gosalyn and Lauchpad (friends of Darkwing) to get the two Darkwings re-merged into one. "Why would you help us?" Gosalyn demanded. "Because," answered Megavolt, "If the evil Darkwing destroys the city, they'll be nothing left to steal!" Hilarious moments abound . . . look for the little lost bunny scene. [One note: the Negaduck in this cartoon is not the same Negaduck who dresses in a yellow coat and black-and-red cape; this is simply Darkwing's "dark side".] The other episode is, "Tiff Of The Titans". Steelbeak, leader of F.O.W.L. (Fiendish Organization for World Larceny, if I remember correctly) is trying to steal the Egret, a top-secret military transport. An army general hires Duckburg's hero, Gizmoduck, to guard the Egret until it can be safely transported. Since the Egret is located in St. Canard, that's where Giz has to go. Only to get in the way of St. Canard's own local hero, Darkwing Duck! Again, the interplay between two characters is wonderful, but not only between Darkwing and Gizmoduck, but also between their alter egos, Drake Mallard and Fenton Crackshell. At one point, when Drake catches site of Gizmoduck on the evening news, he slaps off the TV, muttering, "If I wanted to watch a trite and tedious program, I'd turn on the congressional hearings!" The two do end up working together to try to save the city . . . but not before some hilarious personality clashes! I love ol' D.W., and I recommend this video to anyone who likes Darkwing, Ducktales, or a good laugh. Let's Get Dangerous!

I used this with a group of 10 year olds (as a model for creating their own treasure chest) and they thoroughly enjoyed it.

The contents stimulated some discussion and the building of the models and map were enjoyed.

However, it is really a stimulous to further research rather than a source of anything other than 'bit' knowledge.

Having said that, it was worth buying.

...The truth of the thing spoken by the boy,Jake. Our Gunslinger, Roland, injured by the Lobstrosities struggles and hallucinates his way down the long beach of his world to a strange door. Credit to Huxley here where it is due. A Door of perception. THE Door for Roland. It's where the rubber meets the road for the true journey to the Dark Tower. The imagery here is superb. Stephen King leads us into a long, strange trip with the Gunslinger rattling around in the heads of dope-smugglers, schizophrenics, psychopaths... what all else? Despite his weakened, even dying condition our hero perseveres and brings a crew of unlikelies together for what I feel will be a hell of a journey. The desolation of Rolands world... whatever the hell happened to it.. is highlighted by the tales of surviving high-tech gadgets from the world past. Read this book... Detta Walker and Odetta Holmes-Good God- Eddie, Every character in this installment of THE DARK TOWER is crippled, even to Roland whose tools of the trade, his bullets, his hands and his wits are ruined, addled or brutally ravaged. Shuffle and Shift... Take Heart, Constant Reader... SK manages to heal a lot in this offering, but he leaves us wanting. REALLY BAD!!!! Keep it up, my Friend. See You Soon?

I have read about 15 novels by Mr King, and this has got place in my top 3 or 4. The entire Dark Tower series is brilliant. But where the Gunslinger is a worthy introduction, and the Wastelands a wild stop on the way, The Drawing of the Three and in my humble opinion, Wizard and Glass are the absolute standouts.

Roland's first interactions with our world run the gamut from funny to thought-provoking to scary, and each of the new characters are impressive and likeable.

This book is not to be missed. And while you're at it, read the other three and wait with breath as baited as the rest of us for #5.

Wow, fantastic. if you've read "The Gunslinger" and then gave up, then i encourage you to read this, the second volume. It is SO much better than the first! With "The Gunslinger" you could tell it was written while King was still in college because it was pretty rough around the edges and (forgive me for saying this about a SK story), a little boring. But "The Drawing Of The Three", in which Roland must pass through three doorways to 1980's America, is riveting, fast-paced,emotional, and yes, humorous. Some parts where Roland is trying to get used to our world are very funny (the "tooter-fish popkin" incident springs to mind). The 450 pages just fly past, but it gives some indication of the epic saga that King is creating, since even at the end of Volume II, we are still near the start of the journey. I only hope that once Roland reaches his Dark Tower (if he ever does?), the tale doesn't fizz out. All in all, this book offers much more bang for your buck than The Gunslinger, because it's twice as long, written twice as good, and there's twice as much action :)

Misrepresentation of learning theories contrary to the authors' biases make this book useful to readers who already know better. I received it as a gift but wouldn't buy it for myself. This book does little to round out a library in psychology, educational psychology or developmental psychology.
