Pros: Good, age-appropriate lessons & humor; terrific songs!
Cons: Some folks may not appreciate the anachronisms

Cons: It's not word for word from The Bible, but not meant to be.
Summary: Ok, I had to get the song out of my head. It's stuck in there and it won't come out because it is too darn cute. I love the catchiness of Cebu and I think Larry is funny as he can be. The whole multimedia extravaganza is sooooooo funny. I laugh thinking ... read more

Cons: I did have trouble getting my kids to EAT their veggies after watching Veggietales
Summary: We were introduced to VeggieTales in 1998 when my daughter's godparents gave her "Where's God When I'm Scared" for her first birthday. She was instantly hooked while I thought they were kind of silly. It took me watching it a couple of times to finally ... read more

Pros: Timeless story of Joshua, the children of Israel, and the wall of Jericho told humorously.
Cons: Catchy tunes. :o)

Pros: Encourages listening to God's direction instead of taking the easy way out.
Cons: The Silly Song - The Song of the Cebu - is ridiculous and not entertaining.
Summary: Direct teaching of stories from the Bible seems to be rather "boring" to most kids as just being words. And I really don't blame them, because when I was going to Sunday School, I thought all of this stuff was BORING too. I believe that contributed to ... read more
