This is an animated children's dvd featuring Marty and Gerard, a comical giraffe and monkey, and their adventures. There are three 15 minute episodes on the dvd each featuring a different parable: the workers in the vineyard, the wise and foolish builders and the lamp under the bowl.
Marty and Gerard are very likable characters and the animation is very colorful. I can see children under the age of 6 getting bored with the stories though. I think the storylines are best suited for 6-8 year olds, but the animation is aimed at children younger than 6. Maybe that was done on purpose to appeal to a wider audience, but I'm not sure it works in this instance.
I am all for getting God's word out to children and I love projects like this one for that very reason. I wouldn't give this a bad rating, but it could have been a lot better. 3 out of 5 stars - good.
Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this book free from the publisher through the BookSneeze®.com
