Someone called the Bad Apple seeks to rule Bumblyburg by making Mayor Blueberry, Petunia Rhubarb, and LarryBoy (as well as Alfred) victims of various temptations. Soon everyone who has become trapped by their temptations realizes that they need the help of others around them in order to fight back and defeat the Bad Apple.

Gideon is the amazing story based on one of the greatest biblical heroes of all time — a cucumber chosen to defend his people against an army of 30,000 excessively hairy pickles! But the reluctant, tuba-playing Gideon (Larry the Cucumber) is better trained at marching in formation than he is at marching into battle. Will he be able to trust the message from God delivered to him by the angel and protect his people?
