1: MY SON LOVES THIS BOOK
My son looks forward to the reading of this book everyday. He likes to help me read "the French Peas" because, of their accent. In our home the reader sings out Madam Blueberry and he is fully into the book. Teachers had trouble getting him to sit down but this book has him, taking a seat with anticipation. From beginning to end he likes it (we are very interactive with the words in the book and aim to personalize it as much as possible by adding his name verbally to areas where it says you.)

Veggie Tales speak to the heart of a child in understandable words and
phrases.

3: This Book Carries a Special Message!
This is a great, oversized board book that teaches an important lesson in acceptance. It teaches kids that God made everyone special in their own way.
It is told in a wonderful rhyme that is typical of the Veggie Tales books. Larry the cucumber is the first to say why he is special. He is green, tall and lean. Next, Bob the Tomato tells how he is round and red. The French Peas are special because they speak with "zee accent" and have a great "French-sounding sound!" Archie Asparagus is bookish and lean while Pa Grape has a white mustache and glasses... which he asks the kids if they have. (This part promptly gets a giggle out of my older son who has glasses, but no white mustache.) Madame Blueberry says how she is round like Bob but her special feature is being blue. Jimmy and Jerry tell how they are shaped like drops and Laura Carrot shares how she is orange with yellow hair. Also included is Mr. Lunt (my personal favorite) who tells how he is special with squinty eyes!
This book is very sturdy and can hold up to many readings. The pictures are big and colorful and fun to look at. Children of all ages will learn the value of accepting ourselves and the differences in others because that's the way God made us.
Highly recommended.

4: Great teaching book
Great fun book for young children to emphacize how important they are and how God made them special.

5: Wonderful book for all ages
I started to read this to my son when he was 5 months old. He is almost 2 years and still loves it! We do different accents for the different characters. He especially loves the outrageous french accent for the french peas. We are actually having a difficult time getting him to say "tomato" and "cucumber" - he calls them "Bob" and "Larry"!
