Once again VeggieTales has produced a couple stories which which not only delight, but will also challenge us in our own walk and in the way we live our lives every day! Yes, there is plenty of silliness - how could there not be when you combine VeggieTale characters with nursery rhyme characters?!!! - but there is also solid teaching which is the main reason I'm a fan of VeggieTales. There is no shortage of animated series out there which will delight our children - and even some which parents and grandparents can enjoy - but animated series which teach, encourage and challenge us in our walk with God . . . well, those are very few and far between. Big Idea has definitely set the "bar" quite high with VeggieTales and they continue to meet and exceed their own standard with each new story they release!

Get ready for 48 minutes of non-stop fun with "The Little House That Stood"! As Big Idea says, "Families will enjoy learning the Biblical story of the wise and foolish builders made understandable for kids based on Matthew 7:24-27. When the Three Little Pigs roll into Cabbageville looking to build some new houses, they meet one builder with a plan and two without a clue! Larry builds with hay, Mr. Lunt with bricks, but only Bob builds his houses on a firm foundation - following the wise plans from the 'Master Builder's Handbook'! Will the Little Piggies make the right choices when it comes to building their houses - and their lives - on solid ground? Find out in this parable which shows kids when they follow God's blueprints, they can stand strong when the storms come!"

"Additionally, the story of "Humpty Dumpty" is hilariously re-told around the good neighbor parable in "The Good Egg of Gooseville", inspired by Luke 10:27-37; the Parable of the Good Samaritan. Ever what happened before Humpty cracked? Find out in this very Veggie retelling of the classic story where we learn how to be a good neighbor!"
