About this title

Review:

This sturdy hardcover book, containing four of the bestselling VeggieTales books for the 3-8-year old set, captures the crisp computer-animated look of the popular videos. How Many Veggies?--a counting book--follows Bob the Tomato, Larry the Cucumber, and the rest of the gang as they find out how many of them can fit in Captain Bob's small boat. Not that many. As the last stanza states, "10 little veggies, all taking a bath, /As soggy as soggy can be. /One little parrot looks back with a laugh/And pilots the boat out to sea!" Junior's Colors is a rhyming introduction to colours through Junior Asparagus's crayon drawings: "When God made the world, /he used all sorts of colors--/Some of them brighter and some of them duller./ But most of the/ veggies we've seen/Came out in a nice shade of green..." Pa Grape looks for the right shape of tyre for his old car in Pa Grape's Shapes. In the process, kids learn about triangles, squares, rectangles, and more. Bob and Larry's ABC's gives an overview of all the VeggieTale characters: "A is for Archibald./ Look at his coat!/ B is for Bob and his big bamboo boat!" Children may miss the clever voices and songs from the video series, but any Veggie fan--from the 3-year-old to the young reader--should enjoy this collection. --Doug Thomas, Amazon.com
