Each "Book" takes its name from one of the elements that Aang, the protagonist, must master: Water, Earth, and Fire. In addition to the three seasons, there were two recap episodes and three "shorts". The first recap summarized the first seventeen episodes while the second summarized season two. The first self-parody was released via an online Flash game.

In the Avatar: The Last Airbender universe there are people who are able to manipulate or "bend" the four elements: Air, Water, Earth, and Fire. There are also sub-elements, such as metal, ice, and lightning. Along with the four elements, there are four nations that correspond with each element. Not everyone can bend an element, and those that can only bend one. However, the Avatar is a being able to manipulate all four elements, as well as communicate with the spirits. The Avatar is also born into one nation, and, after dying, is reincarnated into another nation following the pattern of Fire, Air, Water, and Earth.
The series takes place 100 years after the Fire Nation declared war against all other nations and has killed off all airbenders in search of the Avatar, who has been reincarnated as a young airbender named Aang. The Avatar, trapped in ice for 100 years, knows nothing of the war. The series starts with Aang being accidentally freed by Katara, a waterbender, and her brother Sokka. The series then primarily follows the adventures of Aang and his companions Katara, Sokka, Appa, Momo, and later Toph, as he tries to master all four elements and defeat the Fire Nation. There is also a strong focus on Zuko, the banished and disinherited crown prince of the Fire Nation, who is accompanied by his uncle Iroh. Zuko was scarred in a duel with his own father, the current Fire Lord, and is obsessed with capturing Aang for the Fire Nation in order to regain his honor and his father's favor.

Since this is not compatible in most countries outside North America, Nickelodeon released separate DVDs in regions where the video would be encoded using PAL instead. These releases began on February 19, 2007; each DVD was released months after the original release. As with the original DVDs, each set contained five episodes on one disc, with the exception of The Complete Book One Collection Box Set, which contained all of the twenty episodes in the season on five discs.{{cite web|url=https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0012TMEVG|title=Avatar — The Last Airbender: The Complete Book 1 - Water — Collection (vol. 1-5)|publisher=Amazon.com, Inc.|access-date=May 30, 2008|archive-date=June 29, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110629011431/http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0012TMEVG|url-status=live}} In the Netherlands, all episodes came out in a box.
