My 2-year-old has helped me to discover the wonderful world of VeggieTales, and this CD is just another reason why we love them so much! Many of these songs will be familiar to those who grew up going to church - "This Little Light of Mine", "Give Me Oil in My Lamp", etc. Only a few of the songs are VeggieTales originals such as "Love Your Neighbor" and "God's Way". But a lot of the songs have been updated in VeggieTale's style to appeal to kids today. My son and my 3-year-old nephew (and I admit, sometimes even me) just can't help singing along!

Add some goofy dialogue from Bob and Larry, as well as guest appearances from Mr. Lunt and Pa Grape (whose rendition of "Zaccheaus" is hilarious!) and you have a very entertaining drive-time CD. The CD also includes every song (sans most dialogue) in split-track format at the end so you can play just the background music (if you have a CD player or sound system that has balance control). I can't wait to perform some of these songs with my children's choir!

I bought this for my 2 1/2 year old -- he loves Bob the tomato. I found that I really liked the songs too because they are fun versions of all those sunday school songs that most people know. I sing along and as my son learns the words he will probably sing along too. He asks for "Bob's songs" frequently and so will most kids especially if they already like veggie tales.

My daughter, now 19 months, has absolutely loved this CD for the last year. She never grows tired of it, and as a musician myself I have to say I really enjoy the talented and fun veggie versions of these old classics that add some pizzazz without ruining the integrity of songs themselves. If you're looking for stated, old fashioned children's hymns, this isn't for you, but if you have a sense of rhythm and humor and would like to teach your child that church and God and morels are actually good things, not boring things, then I highly recommend this swinging CD. And an added delight: this morning out of the blue my daughter joined in with the "Down in My Heart" song, right on time, singing "joee joee joee" and then squeaking for the "where?" part. I love that she loves these songs, and from them has learned the word "joy."

We are Veggie Fanatics at our house and we bought this CD after getting "O Veggie Where Art Thou?" [which is just AWESOME!]. Unfortunately, my husband and I found this CD horribly annoying. The songs are pretty terrible, including hideously obnoxious renditions of "This Little Light of Mine" and "My God is so Big"... We've never bought a Veggie product we didn't love, but we don't love this one and wish we hadn't gotten it. The children, however, really like it - which means I've got these awful versions of these old songs that I love stuck in my head constantly! :)

So, I recommend that you go buy "O Veggie Where Art Thou?" or some other fabulous Veggie product and skip this one.

I gave this to my three year old son for his birthday, and he absolutely loves it! His favorite song is "Jericho." He learned the songs in no time, and he enjoys listening to them on long car trips. This is a wonderful CD for preschoolers!

This is such a great cd. My little one constantly asks for his "new" cucumber cd, meaning this one. He loves "This Little Light of Mine," and it gets played repeatedly. At first I didn't care much for the children's chorus in the background, but now I'm used to it and we all sing together on car trips with this cd. It's pretty funny hearing Larry talk about brushing his teeth, his eyebrows, etc. every morning and hearing him sing his "gettin' up" song. These guys make learning fun and it's even more fun for the parents. I've not laughed this hard for quite some time since buying these "cucumber" videos and cds and I hope there's more to come!

This was a baby shower gift and I can't say for sure yet whether my son likes this one (he's all of 7 1/2 weeks) but I do! It makes feeding time and diaper-changing a little more fun for Mom at least right now and I hope he'll enjoy these crazy versions of fun Sunday School songs when he's a little older. This is a good one!

My kids love this! They won't put anything else on while we're in the car. If you want some catchy tunes to help your children understand basic Bible stories and values, this is the CD for you!

We have to listen to this everytime we get in the car or there is a mini meltdown. lol Needless to say my daughter LOVES this CD.

We got this for our 3 year old and he loves it. He has listened to it over and over and over.
