This review is from: Davey and Goliath (4 pack) Volume 1-4 (DVD)

As I child I loved Davey and Goliath. I have to admit I still do at 52. This series teaches good manners, kindness, telling the truth, how to treat others and be mindful of their feelings. Not to take what isn't yours, obedience to parents, how cheating is wrong. All the things that any god parent would want for themselves.

It doesn't preach or talk about any certian churches. It is not talking about salvation and hell..nothing like that. It is produced by the Evangelical Lutheran Church but you hear nothing of that in the programs.

I highly recommend this to every parent.

I ran across Davey & Goliath and remembered watching them as a child. I wondered how my own children would like them and if the show would stand the test of time as I haven't seen it probably since a child. I am quite happy to say the show did pass both tests. I sat down with my children, 11, 8, 4 and my grandson 4, to watch volume 1. Davey & Goliath kept their attention. The topics covered by the shows are just as current and pertinent today as it was back then. I found the wit and humor used in the show very good. My wife did criticize some of the claymation saying she couldn't tell for sure what some of the background things were supposed to be. So state of the art it may not be but as I told her that is not why people will by Davey & Goliath. The skits are good and teach children a lesson without them realizing they are being taught. I like the fact that the show portrays Davey in a nuclear family with a mother & father, I like Davey & Goliath's interaction with and in the community, I like that it shows the children outside playing, flying kites etc. The show teaches good basic principles of life I can't imagine any parent not wanting their child to pick up on, honesty, respect, being helpful, diversity, for examples. Speaking to diversity for a moment, Davey and his family are White but there are people of color in the show, friends and people in the community. Kids today definitely have better TV viewing choices than I did as a child with more educational cartoons and Discovery channels and the like but Davey & Goliath bring other aspects of life into the mix. They are able to entertain your child while conveying to them holsom principles. So don't hesitate to pick up these classic jewels for yourself.

Since I was familiar with what the product was, I was not surprised. Some find it a little dated,but the content is cleaver in a way to reach elementary age students in Sunday School.
