In Kingsley's Meadow, animals and kids alike simply can't get enough of the title character's inspirational stories. In "Hang in There," Kingsley relates the biblical stories of Ruth and Elisha to his animal and human friends with some help from several child actors. In the story of Ruth, kids learn to value goodness as they follow Ruth's friendship with Naomi. Even Kingsley's selfish friend Aaron begins to realize the benefits of sharing after listening to the story of Ruth. The story of Elisha teaches kids the value of perseverance, showing how Elisha's steadfast commitment to Elijah led to his eventual elevation to leader of the prophets. Kingsley's delivery of each story is animated and enthusiastic, his puppet friends like Munk and Aaron are adorable, and the child actors do a perfectly adequate job of miming the stories Kingsley relates. Sprinkled throughout the 30-minute video are lots of upbeat songs that capture kids' attention and underscore the messages behind the stories. And there are even two bonus Bible songs at the end of the tape. These inspirational stories are entertaining and very accessible to children ages 2 through 10. --Tami Horiuchi

Great video for Christian kids!.......2003-01-12

My 4 year old son loves these videos. The animation is very high quality (compared to some other Christian kids videos), and with the exception of Monk, none of the characters are annoying. Of course the best part is, the kids get to learn stories from the Bible! Kingsley the Lion narrates a few minutes-long story that is acted out by real kids. Lots of fun songs are also included. The songs from the show are sung again at the end, after which Kingsley encourages kids to read the actual stories in the Bible. I can't recommend these videos enough!

Good Bible Story Video.......2001-05-27

Good combination of Bible-story-telling, comedy, and songs to keep children's interest. There are bonus Bible songs at the end of the video, complete with sing-a-long words at the bottom of the screen for easy learning. The video also tells the children where in the Bible (ex. 2 Kings 2-5) they can read about the story that was told on the video. I like how they encourage reading from the Bible.
