VeggieTales Review

My oldest started VeggieTales when he was three– of course he always was the one that could sit in front of the television and didn’t have to be active.  I credit VeggieTales for helping him through when he was hospitalized with rota virus when he was 3.  But now, there are so many more options and things that are accessible to him.

It leads me to the the question, when there’s Word World, new 3-2-1 Penguins almost every week, and that “My Friend Rabbit” that comes on before them on Qubo (not to metion Curious George and Sesame Street), for what ages is VeggieTales appropriate, and when do you think they’ll just become tired a bored?

When I think about VeggieTales – Dave and the Giant Pickle, the first thing I think that I learned was that Asparagus have weird tastes.  They like to eat chicken leg, pizza and they drink crystal clear water from a martini glass with a straw.

But that’s nothing compared to the lessons that can be learned from this great Bible story.  One of the lessons that’s apart from the main lesson is that of taking advantage of those that want to make a difference.
