The Little House That Stood

VeggieTales: The Little House That Stood

When the Three Little Pigs roll into Cabbageville looking to build some new houses, they meet one builder with a plan and two without a clue! Larry builds with hay, Mr. Lunt with bricks, but only Bob builds his houses on a firm foundation - following the wise plans from the Master Builder's Handbook! Will the Little Piggies make the right choices when it comes to building their houses - and their lives - on solid ground? Find out in this parable that shows kids when they follow God's blueprints, then can stand strong when the storms come! (back of dvd)

This latest VeggieTales dvd is sure to be a hit with any pre-schooler...or anyone who has been a pre-schooler. The first story is a combination of The Parable of the Wise and Foolish Builders and The 3 Little Pigs. However, the builders in this tale are Bob, Larry, and Mr. Lunt and they are each building a house for the 3 pigs.

Larry and Mr. Lunt want to take the quick and easy path and ignore Bob's wisdom about building on a firm foundation. When Wolf River causes the dam to crack, which house will still be standing after the flood?

The lesson learned is that to weather the storms that come your way isn't about how strong you are, but how strong is your faith in God?

The 2nd story, The Good Egg of Gooseville, is a retelling of Humpty Dumpty, featuring Bob as the Mayor. The job of being mayor isn't all that it's cracked up to be. In fact, Mayor Humpty is cracking from the stress of trying to meet the demands of the townspeople. He literally goes "up the wall" to get away from it all, but his view from the top gives him a new perspective of what is happening in his town. Everyone has become so absorbed in their own needs that they aren't seeing when their neighbor needs help. Will the people learn to love their neighbors and help those in need? This is a great take on helping others.
