You know that Sunday School song about the wise man who built his house upon the rock? I love that one. Well, that’s what this newest addition to the VeggieTales collection is all about. With veggies, piggies, and a whole lot of home renovation, the gang from Big Idea Entertainment introduce children (and maybe some adults?) to the concept of Making Good Choices.
A message near and dear to my heart, indeed!
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 form 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 that shows kids when they follow God’s blueprints, they can stand strong when the storms come!
Now, let’s be honest here… there is very little BAD to ever say about a VeggieTales production, I can honestly say I love every single one of them. That makes for a pretty easy “positive review”. But what about this particular video did I love best? I love that the veggie gang really stressed the consequences of bad choices, and the benefits (even though it is sometimes more effort) to making good choices. The easy path is always around us, it takes wisdom to not follow the well-trod path, even for our children. Pressure to conform is huge these days, even for those of us who “shelter” our children in homeschools. Teaching our children that God’s way is the best, strongest, surest way is a challenge – and kudos to VeggieTales for taking up the task of helping parents everywhere to teach our children the benefit of seeking wisdom and a Godly foundation for their lives!
And then there is the introduction of Larry’s latest Silly Song, “Happy Tooth Day” where Larry reminisces on the love he has for the one “in the center of my mouth” tooth. There is also a Mother Goose spin-off that shows how making one poor choice can spiral out of control… with rather messy consequences! The Littles found this part hilarious!
DEFINITELY two thumbs up!
Blessings!
