The Bedbug Bible Gang Christmas Show

Combining computer and iconographic animation, this enjoyable kid's overview of Christ's birth strings together bite-sized rhymed stories ranging from Mary's "surprise" (i.e. the Annunciation) to the visits of the three wise men and shepherds to Bethlehem's most famous manger. Sparky and Buzzer's (the bedbugs) pleasantly humorous songs ("three wise guys, see how they run") and wisecracks should produce smiles in adults as well as children, as they re-visit the first Christmas. As an added bonus, interactive games (match the pictures, find the objects, etc.) are included in between the tales. Recommended. Aud: K, P. (R. Pitman)
