Lessons from the Sock Drawer is a special VeggieTales compilation.
Plot
Opening Countertop
A boy from Fort Washakie, Wyoming named Edmund Storch has unfortunately lost his pet hamster Squeaky, so he writes to Bob and Larry for advice. During countertop vignettes in which Larry and Bob interact with the puppet-wielding Khalil and Mr. Lunt, the group tries to find suitable stories (from previous VeggieTales videos) to help Edmund feel less sad.

Closing Countertop
The pair then help Edmund feel better using the video shorts and elements of the verse:
- "A happy heart is good medicine and a cheerful mind works healing."
- — Proverbs 17:22
Although the video exclusively utilizes previous shorts and music, save for the countertop vignettes, the presentation is exactly like any original VeggieTales video with the letter, countertop dialogue, and scripture verse.

Remarks
- On the alternate cover of this DVD and on the DVD-ROM features, they show Junior with a pot on his head, although the story in question isn't on the DVD.
- The opening title card of Binky the Opera Singer states the short was from 2003 (when it was first featured in Auto-Tainment!), but the short was actually made in 1999.
- On a similar note, the opening title card of Lunch states the short was from 2003 (when it was first featured in Auto-Tainment!), but the short was actually made in 2001, although they could mean that the short was publicly released in 2003, as the original short was only presented privately in 2001.
- On the 5.1 Surround audio track, the segments from God Wants Me to Forgive Them!?! mare only in Stereo.
- At the end, when Lutfi says that it's time to close the door on the vault and let these treasures away, he said it's until the Blu-ray edition; however, there was no Blu-ray release of this episode.
