Parents of young children will delight in this vibrant, veggie-filled collection of beloved Bible stories. Join Bob the Tomato, Larry the Cucumber, and the rest of the veggie gang as they recount stories such as Noah’s Ark and the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.
I, like many others, grew up watching the Veggie Tales videos. I am not embarrassed to admit that "Where’s God When I’m Scared?" and "Are You My Neighbor?" were my favorites. When my children came along, I hunted down the movies and the books. I do enjoy this collection of Bible stories. The illustrations are bright and vibrant, just like the show. The characters are easily identifiable: Pa Grape, Bob the Tomato, and Junior Asparagus. They also appear like their old selves, not like the Netflix remake, which I and my children both prefer. The stories themselves are short and to the point while still being enjoyable and educational. They consist of some of the usual children’s Bible stories. I must admit that I was surprised that some stories were excluded, such as the world’s creation. That said, I was pleased to find stories that are usually left out, such as the stories of Ruth and Naomi, Peter walking on water, and when Jesus healed the paralyzed man. I was slightly shocked to find that the stories that had previously been made into Veggie Tales movies did not look like they did in the films. In some of the stories, the characters are switched, and some look completely different. This is a minor change, however, and I and my children still enjoyed this book. I would recommend this collection to families with young children. I would rate this book five out of five stars. I received my copy of this book from the publishers, Worthy Kids, for the sole purpose of providing an honest review, and the image above is my own. |
