Overall Thoughts: We were surprised that both adventures were only about 20 minutes each. I know that I was expecting them to be much longer. With that said both adventures were cute for the kids ( 8 & 4 years old) but disappointing for me. The youngest easily sat through the entire thing without getting antsy. While the oldest was left wanting more, just like me.
Gift of the Night Fury: (22 minutes) The storyline was enjoyable. We all got a few good laughs and it did have some good action scenes. Fishlegs seemed to have a bigger role here then in the movie. The baby dragons are so cute and adorable!
Book of Dragons: (19 minutes)This one felt like more of a setup to the sequel sequel that was announced for 2014. It profiles the dragons that are living among everyone in Bourke. It did have some amusing and funny scenes though.
Extras: These didn't really add any valueable content and I felt as though they were just filler. Most of the extra content is geared towards the kids. With the exception of the deleted scenes, which are enjoyable for all.
The pack also includes a game card that gives you exclusive access to the ultimate interactive new Dragons Online Video Game. In which players use the new training secrets they’ve learned to earn badges as they fight and train new dragons to become the ultimate dragon trainer. This game will provide a lot of enjoyment for kids 6 or older. The 8 year old got a lot of play out of this and is still playing it.
Overall I give this pack a 3.5 of 5. Considering the price, your kids will get a lot of hours of play out of it.

Available now in stores. Amazon.com currently has it for $12.99 and that is the cheapest I have seen so far.
