Theme: How dinosaurs evolved, lived and disappeared over 65 million years ago are still intriguing scientists
This is a whale of a tale about a butcher who yearns to be a fish and turns into a salmon.
It inspires LeVar to go on an exploration of exotic marine life, tide pools and dolphins while he explains that pretending to be someone else can be exciting and also a way of discovering how wonderful it is to be yourself. LeVar visits the New England Aquarium in Boston, MA, and the Aqua Circus of Cape Cod where trained dolphins Dixie and Dolly reside.
