An Easter Carol

by Cindy Kenney

This adaptation of the new VeggieTales® video, An Easter Carol, shares the real meaning of Easter in a fun and entertaining way! Ebenezer Nezzer is confused about what Easter really means, and he’s determined to turn a little town in London into Easter Land―filled with Easter egg hunts and chocolate bunnies. Can anyone stop him? When he receives a visit from a tiny angel, Ebenezer gets a glimpse at Easter past, present, and future, and finds out what life might be like without the hope of a real Easter! With the help of his Veggie friends, Ebenezer makes some amazing discoveries and realizes that the hope of Easter is life everlasting…if you believe in Jesus. Sunday morning values, Saturday morning fun. Now that’s the Big Idea! Through imaginative and innovative products, Zonderkidz is feeding young souls.

Who doesn't love Veggietales? Wholesome, check; clean, check; good values, check; and most importantly: teaches children about God, check! Most cartoon shows and movies will eventually let you down in some way or fashion; however, this has never happened when it comes to this wonderful show.

"An Easter Carol" is a tale-tale version of "A Christmas Carol" but told about the resurrection of Christ instead of His birth. Everyone typically enjoys the Scrooge character and how he is changed by the hearing of the true meaning of the season, and "An Easter Carol" is no different in this very unique version. Very well written with beautiful illustrations.

I'm a huge Veggie Tales fan and can sing almost all their songs, and I'm one of the first to break out into a French Pea accent in company, but I think this one was a little over the heads of my preschoolers and 5 yr olds. They just have a hard time staying engaged with it, and I'm not sure if it's the length or the big words. Overall, it's not one of their favorites, even though the pictures are bright and colorful.

You can NEVER go wrong with a Veggie tale story...to religious based to fit on most summer reading lists but every child should be permitted to enjoy
