When a shark lives among humans, getting along in the world is one tough challenge after another. Kenny the Shark is about a tiger shark that has made the transition from sea to land, but it’s very hard trying to adapt to new conditions. He lives with Kat, a middle school student, and her family. In the process of watching Kenny deal with this situation, we learn real world facts about shark behavior, habits, and biology. We also learn a lot about how to understand the multiple perspectives of a problem. In each episode, Kenny and Kat have to solve a problem that requires one of them to be generous, cooperative, hardworking, hones, unselfish or responsible. The situations they face are comedic and action-packed extensions of the incongruous circumstances of Kenny’s life.
