Facet 5- VeggieTales With My Niece






VeggieTales is the cutest thing to come out in quite some time. I actually enjoy sitting there and watching it. My niece Emily really loves it too. It's a good time when I watch it with her.

One of the things I like most about VeggieTales is that it tells the Bible stories in a unique way. The lack of Biblical literacy these days is surprising, disappointing, and nearly shameful. This way, even if all the details aren't correct (as there is a severe lack of pie fights in the Old Testament), the child can make the connection when they encounter the story later. This, of course, assumes that parents, teachers, and pastors are doing their job and starting catechesis at Baptism, rather than later.

Anyway, this is an enjoyable thing for me.
