The Dead Sea Squirrels | Fun New Faith Series

If your family loves VeggieTales, get ready to be excited. There’s a new fun-filled animated show bringing faith-based storytelling to life in a way that’s sure to capture kids’ hearts while teaching them about the Bible.

Introducing The Dead Sea Squirrels:
A new show by VeggieTales co-creator
Mike Nawrocki.

The all-new animated series is available exclusively on Minno as of February 14, 2025!

Merle and Pearl, two squirrels from biblical times, are the stars of The Dead Sea Squirrels. Based on Mike Nawrocki’s popular, award-winning book series, the story follows Michael Gomez, a 12-year-old boy who discovers the petrified squirrels while visiting his archaeologist father in Israel.

After smuggling them back to Tennessee, a rainstorm rehydrates them, bringing the squirrels—and their firsthand knowledge of the early church—back to life!

Together, Michael and the squirrels navigate modern-day challenges, all while sharing biblical lessons and hilarity.

It’s my prayer that this series helps kids make a connection to the Bible and the life of Jesus.
