I found it very interesting how many of the songs that we listened to in class, especially the ones that told different Biblical stories, were romanticized in order to be more appealing to children. This was the case with the many different Veggie Tales songs. The stories depicted in the songs did come from the Bible, but the way they are told often leaves out many of the more graphic depictions of the story that are given in scripture. The Battle of Jericho is a great example. Scripture tells us that Joshua and his army took the city and executed every living thing, but many of the children’s songs and Veggie Tales depictions make the story much cuter and more romanticized at the expense of the more graphic details.
