This DVD is very well done. It teaches kids about forgiveness and working together. Even though both episodes are about a go-kart race, they are separate stories and do not build on each other. Included in the DVD are activity sheets for kids and a discussion sheet for parents to use with their children. The lessons are taught with younger children in mind, but my daughters (ages nine and eight) enjoyed them as well. I asked them a few questions after each episode, to see what they thought. Here are their answers.
------------
Episode #1: The Hullabaloo at Hunker Hill
C.J. and his friends learn a lesson in forgiveness and being tenderhearted toward one another.
Girls: Yes, we did.
Me: What was your favorite part?
9-year old: When Staci started feeling better.
8-year old: When C.J. and Staci were praying.
Me: What lesson did you learn?
Girls: To forgive others no matter what.
Me: What part didn't you like?
Girls: When Staci got hurt.
Me: What age kids do you think would like this movie?
Girls: My age and younger.

I received this complementary DVD from Tyndale publishers in exchange for my honest review.
