Veggie Tales ”Jonah”

If you are anything like me, you are to some extent, frustrated with some things our children hear while watching their Rated G movies. I don’t know about you, but the last thing I want to hear my kids saying is the ONE LINE that I hoped went in one ear and out the other. It’s hard to monitor everything they watch and when it’s Rated G, you feel you shouldn’t have to. I am happy to say that one of our favorites, in our home, is Veggie Tales “Jonah!” It is so much fun to listen to the songs, watch the characters being silly and all the while my kids learn about compassion and mercy….with no phrases that make the hair on the back of your neck stand up! The story is about Jonah not obeying….not that MY children need to learn about obedience (*snicker*). It is full of lessons that are only beneficial to them….and things I don’t MIND them repeating. All of the Veggie Tales movies are fantastic, but this full length movie, tops my charts. I hope you and your family will enjoy it as much as we do.

 The Backyardigans…where do I begin? Everything about this series is superb! From the unique characters, to the catchy songs that despite trying to deny….I throughly enjoy as much as my daughter! Eash episode begins IN the backyard, then travels to a “far away land”. They sing and dance their way through Pirates Treasure and Deep Sea Dives. It doesnt take much more than the theme song to begin, for Geovana to be fully captivated. She is (shockingly) one of the rare few that HATES the car…you heard correct, she HATES it! Then along came this brilliant show and POOF! the screaming ceased!! So, every waking moment in the car now consists of catchy tunes and episode after episode of mesmerizing story lines. I joke with my husband how I went from “rapper to rhymer” as I used to be able to sing you any fresh hit on the radio, and now I couldnt even tell you who is in the top 10 BUT ask me any Backyardigan song and I can rattle it off with the best of them!

My personal favorite episode is “Into The Deep”. The characters are searching for mermaids in this deep sea adventure and the songs are just wonderful. The colors are so vibrant, and the story line is unique. And of course, the songs…my personal favorites if I just may say!

Although Geovana is just a mere 9 months old, this is the only show she has enjoyed since day 1. I recommend this show to everyone!
