Pros: Strong message; funny story; lovable characters; memorable songs Cons: Ending might be slightly difficult for young children (please see review)
With Thanksgiving growing nearer, I've been lamenting the dearth of children's stories on the theme of thankfulness. My friend Erin
reminded me of the terrific Veggie Tales' animated video Madame Blueberry, produced ...
Pros: great message given with poignancy and hilarity Cons: they ousted Larry!!
One of the most recent in the excellent line of Veggie videos, this is absolutely wonderful. It starts with Larry zipping by in his new Suzy Action Jeep, interrupting Bob's attempts to address the audience. When stopped, Larry explains his glee at ...
Pros: Provides a good moral lesson in a fun video Cons: May not be right for non-Christian
My mother-in-law recently sent a little package of goodies for the children. Included in the box was a new DVD. We had never heard of Veggie Tales, but a quick look at box of Madame Blueberry: A Lesson in Thankfulness before the girls started ...
Pros: good lesson, fun story, kids and this adult love their Veggies Cons: It would be nice of two episodes were on one tape
Take on part Tammy Faye, one part Zsa Zsa and one part Polander all fruit spread - mix them together and what do you get? Madame Blueberry - a fruit who sports boas and knows that mascara and liquid eyeliner are her best friends.
Pros: Great animation! Funny! Refreshing lack of morally challenged writers! Appealing to all ages! Cons: None
I long for shows like the ones I remember seeing as a kid. There was a moral to every one: Davey and Goliath, The Courtship of Eddie’s Father, the Brady Bunch (although I guess there’s no secrets with that one anymore). At the end of every episode, the...
Pros: Entertaining, funny, colorful, bright graphics! A great message in a constructive format! Cons: Bummer, it was over way too quick!
My kids are mesmerized by Veggietales. No other video seems to have that affect on them. They love it! I love Veggietales because of its fun, interesting method of teaching morals and values. In this fast paced world, we all could use a few lessons from...
Pros: Good Morals Cons: Older children won't be interested
VeggieTales videos are a series of 30 min. animated children's videos that teach morals and kindness. In this episode, thankfulness and contentment are taught. The main character Madame Blueberry is faced with the dilemma of wanting more...
Pros: teaches morals and good values Cons: not enough religious diversity. Aimed at Christians only.
"We represent the Stuff Mart, a magic land of goodies..."
"Bungy bungy here we go bungy"
I have quite a few Veggie Tales tapes for my children and I love them!!! Oh, yeah so does my children lol.
We just rented this video in the Veggie Tales series, and we all loved it. Madame Blueberry is so adorable and funny, and has such a good message.
Madame Blueberry lives in a very elaborate treehouse. She has everything she needs, even a pair...
Pros: Invaluable lesson in an entertaining story Cons: none!
Another brilliant Veggie Tales video with an invaluable lesson learned. The particular lesson taught by Madame Blueberry in this video is that being greedy is not the way to a happy heart.
Pros: Unique plot to teach about Thankfulness, fun Silly Song, great variety in Special Features Cons: None
VeggieTales is an animated show featuring veggies and a few fruit as the main characters. Most shows including this one are started with Bob the Tomato and Larry the Cucumber on the counter top introducing the story. In this episode the story is chosen ...
I think most kids truly have a hard time being thankful. Kids think the world revolves around them and they are entitled to whatever they want. This video help children to see that they need to be thankful for the things they have.
Pros: Another wonderful VeggieTales lesson. Cons: Reminds me I don't know enough vegetables!
Madame Blueberry is confused. She has everything, yet she is sad. How can this be?!?!?!
She sits around her house, perched high in the tree, sad as can be. She looks around the inside and, literally, has everything, including 2 good friends...
The story of a very blue berry. Why so blue? Because Madame Blueberry wants more stuff. Sure, she has everything she needs--good friends, plenty of fo...More at Christianbook.com
