Saint Nicholas: A Story of Joyful Giving
VeggieTales, Big Idea, 2009
List: $14.98 DVD
DVD 45 minutes
Ages: 4-8
Animated story features Veggie characters in a fanciful tale. The story, taking liberties with Nicholas' tradition, portrays a lost little boy who travels to find meaning only to return home where a classic selfish villain has taken over, prohibiting all kinds of gift giving. With usual Veggie humor and appeal, there is a nice emphasis on giving. This tale may encourage further investigation to find the real story of Saint Nicholas.Purchase from amazon.com, amazon.co.uk, amazon.ca
