5.0 out of 5 stars "Beware the Babies with Signal Flares!", July 15, 2008

By	Mark Baker (Santa Clarita, CA United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This entry in the VeggieTales series features one story. Inspired by the works of Mark Twain (sort of), we get the see why helping others is truly important.

Clark Wayne (George the Postman from Toy that Saved Christmas) narrates the story, which begins at Doodle's Lumber Yard when Big Jim (Apollo Gourd) escapes. While the other employees are paid, Jim has been paying off his debt to society after his conviction of stealing Turkey Jerky. A conviction he still flatly denies.

Meanwhile, Tomato Sawyer (Bob the Tomato) and Huckleberry Larry (Larry the Cucumber) are just days away from earning the land they've been homesteading from the government. Huck wants to open an amusement park dedicated to Turkey Jerky, while Tom plans to open the first tax preparer service in the region. And he's not letting the fact that this is 1904, 9 years before income tax started, get in his way.

But when Big Jim's path crosses theirs, trouble ensues. Huck knows they need to help, but Tom is reluctant. Will they do the right thing? And if so can they still earn their land?

Meanwhile, there is the brand new silly song, featuring Archibald Asparagus as he leads a road trip to "The Biscuit of Zazzamarandabo." And anyone who has ever been on a road trip will love it.

Frankly, anyone will love this entire DVD. The story is fast moving with plenty of gags for the kids, but there are so many jokes that only the adults will get as well. I was laughing quite a bit all the way through. The lesson about helping others is strong without being preachy. And they've even got some get jabs at Cliff's Notes.

This is another winner from the guys at Big Idea. The entire family will love it.

5.0 out of 5 stars River Rafting Fun, October 18, 2008

By	Patrick R. Raley "Still Writing" (Louisiana USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

We purchased yet another Veggietales video and once again we were not disappointed. In this adventure Tom and Huck teach everyone that sometimes we have to put others ahead of our own ambitions. I always find myself watching the videos just as hard as my son. He absolutely loves this movie and so do I. A parent cannot possibly go wrong teaching this important lesson to their child. By taking care of others, we take care of ourselves. And I think Huck is on to something with Jerky Land. See if you don't agree.
