A thunderstorm destroys Milo's food establishment, The Snack Shack, so devastating the insect that he loses all sense of when and how to pray. Milo mistakenly reasons that he must outdo himself to get God's attention, little realizing that the Lord has been helping him all along. With this release, Lucado continues to unofficially tap the repertory of Carol Burnett Show veterans, by enlisting Richard Kind as the voice of Milo and Hermie regular Tim Conway as the voice of Hermie the Caterpillar. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi
