My First Editorial Review

Adventures in Booga Booga Land - Volume 1 (DVD) by Richard Milner

Our children’s time is in competition for so many entertainment options- cartoons, sports, music lessons and movies. It is good to have options that not only keep their attention but also teach positive Bible stories. Recently I reviewed a new DVD series for children called “Adventures in Booga Booga Land.” This series follows Marty the Monkey and Gerard the Giraffe as they explore three parables from the Book of Matthew.

The animation is light and the soundtrack is imaginative and fun. This is a great Biblical introduction for children pre-k through 2nd grade. Each parable is directly retold in a simple and creative way. Occasionally, the story line seems disoriented and it losses opportunities to expound on the application behind the parables in favor of just retelling the basic story. It is up to the child to understand the importance or the parent to explain the meaning.

Overall, my kids enjoyed watching the stories and it has opened the door to great conversations about the importance of being happy for others, building our lives on a strong foundation and letting our light shine.
