Skeeter and the Mystery of the Lost Mosquito Treasure

Is the most recent addition to the Max Lucado's series Hermie and Friends! I had the chance to watch this gem with some children the other day. They were quickly caught up in the story of wrong-way Skeeter, with his crooked stinger and his "perfect" brother, Sinclair M. Skeeto. The adventure involves a mysterious treasure map left to Skeeter and his brother by their father. Skeeter and his brother learn important lessons about themselves and others as they work their way through the adventure.

The key scripture verse for this episode is Psalms 139:13-14, "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well"

Skeeter and the Mystery of the Lost Mosquito Treasure comes to life through the voices of John O’Hurley, Tim Conway, Rob Pottorf, and Melissa Disney. The DVD has bonus material that includes a trivia quiz with multiple choice answers. It's worth taking the trivia quiz just to read the humorous answers the writers came up with. This DVD has great content for children and adults, great animation, good music, funny characters, and a wonderful story. I recommend this video for the young and the young at heart.
