When I was offered the chance to check out their newest DVD VeggieTales®: Pistachio – The Little Boy That Woodn’t, I jumped at the opportunity. When it arrived, I popped it right into the DVD player and let the boys watch. Here are their first reactions... Finley telling me all about it and Kieran speechless and still (a miracle). Not only will kids like it, but parents will too since it's a lesson in listening to parents.
Want to see if your little one likes it before buying? Here's the trailer:
DVD Synopsis
Once upon a time in the small town of Bologna-Salami, there lived a lonely toymaker named Gelato and his assistant Cricket. Gelato had no children of his own, so one day he decided to carve a little boy out of wood. Imagine Gelato’s surprise when he learned this little boy could walk…and talk…and definitely had a mind of his own! When Pistachio tries to do things his way, he lands in a “whale” of a situation! Will he decide to listen to the wisdom of a loving father in time to save his whole family from becoming fish food? Find out in this all-new adventure with a lesson about the importance of family and learning to listen.

cdziuba@aol.com I love that the videos are wholesome and enjoyable, and that when I pop it into the player, I don't have a thing to worry about, whether it will be appropriate for the kids or not.
We LOVE Veggie Tales! Madame Blueberry is my favorite :) I love that they teach things from the Bible. It's hard to teach a 2 year old bible stories but they make them fun!

I love Veggies tales because of the music and songs and How very easy for children to remember
I like the positive message it gives.
I truly appreciate the life lessons that Veggie Tales not only teaches my children but also to me. I am always challenged at the end of watching one of the videos by something mentioned.
As I am typing this: we are getting ready to watch Dave and the Giant Pickle. :)
It would be a wonderful gift for my children to have! :)

The little Christian vegetables send a great message to our impressionable young people - indoctrinate them early - that's my motto! Get them before they develop critical thinking skills. It's extra nice to catch them while they still believe in Santa Claus.
There's always a good christian lesson to be learned and kids can identify with these characters.
I love how fun and friendly and characters are!
Thank you for the giveaway :)

I really like the Larry boy character.

What is not to lover about vegetables that sing? I love the stories and the fresh take on old stories.
I love Veggie Tales and their Christian values. I love that the grandkids love it as much as my kids did. I love... Oh where is my hairbrush.

They are super cute and it teaches good morals.
What I like about Veggi Tales is that it has morals. It's a show I trust when it comes to my four year old's TV viewing.
I like the positive lessons they teach.
I like that there is no violence and it keeps the kids interested in learning nice wholesome values. There are few cartoons that are actually benifical in a childs learning.

Veggie Tales are awesome, great content and moral stories for the kids.
I love that Veggie Tales teaches about God in a fun day!
I love that Veggie Tales is 100% appropriate! Some other cartoons make you wonder at times, but you never have to second guess Veggie Tales!

The one thing my kids like about veggie tales are the songs. And my son loves to watch the information after the movies where they talk about making the movie, etc. He thinks it's hysterical. Plus of course it teaches a lesson in a fun way. Thanks so much! pamelashockley(AT)netscape(DOT)net
I love that they teach you about God :)

edyta_c01@yahoo.com
I like that they are positive, fun messages for my children to receive!
I like the morals of the stories. You really don't find that in many childrens shows these days. They have good values, good stories, the stories are based on a story from the bible. How can you go wrong with this? It's entertaining and it teaches the children a lesson at the same time. I like it!
