Review: Gigi's Hugest Announcement(DVD)

Gigi's Hugest Announcement (DVD) 

Gigi, God's Little Princess

by Sheila Walsh

Two of Sheila Walsh's stories are animated and retold on this DVD.  Each one starts with sweet illustrations from the actual books.  After an introduction by Lord Fluffy (Gigi's cat) the story becomes animated.  The first story is about a special announcement Gigi wants to make to her friend Francis.  In the second story Gigi wants to hold a dance to praise God.  During a difficult time in each story Gigi is counseled by a parent.  Her parents share Bible verses with her that help her to see the solution to her problems.  Her father tells her in one of the stories that she is God's princess because He chose her not because of what she does for Him.  

Biblical truths are presented in a clear, easy to understand manner that is fun for girls to watch.  My six year old daughter summed the stories up by saying "I like the ballet and when she was having a tea party with her friend Francis."  There are lots of neat bonus features included in the DVD like watching an animator draw Gigi and her cat, a game, and my favorite a read along of a few more of the author's books. 

I was not paid for this review but I did receive a free copy of the DVD from Thomas Nelson Publishers.
