Released in 2002, it is one of several sing-along videos. Released prior to the film Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie, it was intended to fuel interest in the upcoming feature. Unlike the previous sing-alongs. It had no real ``A lesson in...`` subtitle, this one features some live-action footage including a segment of the Newsboys in concert performing the song "Belly of the Whale". It also includes a medley of songs from Lyle the Kindly Viking. The story behind the video is that Archibald Asparagus, who plays Jonah in the movie, is afraid to come out of his dressing room for fear of being swallowed by a whale. It's up to Bob the Tomato and Larry the Cucumber to coax him out and play Jonah in the first featured-movie Jonah.
