Set in medieval times, Jane and the Dragon is an animated show that hails from Martin Bayntons best-selling book about a middle-class girl named Jane. Jane is raised in the Royal Court as a Knight-in-Training after she demonstrates her courage by leaving the castle to conquer the local dragon. The giant green Dragon, whose sense of humor exceeds his ferocity, instead becomes Janes best friend and a part of the castle community. In each episode, Jane encounters a challenge that tests her problem-solving skills and requires her to demonstrate her strength of character as a Knight of the Kings Guard. Sometimes Jane learns a moral lesson, and other times she uses her analytical ability to illustrate how a problem can be made less complicated and easily solved.

Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming
Whether it's a skirt made out of a pair of jeans for a college-bound teen, a funky crocheted scarf for a high school hipster, or the coolest silkscreen T-shirt for a middle school skater, Jane's infectious enthusiasm inspires her audience to experiment with style while giving them the necessary tools to design it, sew it, and make it their own! Now there's a show tailor-made to show moms and teens how to create the hottest styles with their own custom flair at a fraction of what they'd pay for them in the stores. Using simple techniques, Jane uses her extensive sewing expertise and crafty secrets to make even the most elaborate styles easy to replicate. And, for additional inspiration, guest appearances by some of Hollywood's top costume designers give the audience a whole new perspective on clothing from the past, present, and future. The show tells you how to choose a sewing machine, a pattern and a fabric type with step-by-step instructions and diagrams for designing not only the fashions highlighted on the show, but other new and innovative ideas as well. In addition, Jane imparts clever tips of the trade. For example, if you can wrap a pair of jeans around your neck, they will most likely fit your waist! Or, learn the secret to making a skirt pattern out of wrapping paper! Jane's Sew & So not only to teaches people how to sew, but gives them the confidence they need to recognize their own artistic abilities and express their individuality through sewing!
