AK, the amazing land of giants, also known as Alaska, is a magical place where snow-capped mountains reach for the stars, and fluffy white clouds graze the tips of the fir trees. The Earth's biggest playground is home to a wild bunch of kids, who prefer swimming with fishes to playing with iPads. Meet Benny, the brave, bold, and bountifully bouncy boy who leads his crew of Snorkel-Scouts on extraordinary underwater escapades. Benny, with his neon-green snorkel and swim fins that are two times his shoe size, looks like a funky sea creature as he commands his troop beneath the crystal clear Alaskan waters. All the fish in the neighborhood knew Benny and his gang, and they often joined the underwater parade, showing off their shimmering scales and fin flips. The Snorkel-Scouts were a hardy bunch. Despite their mittens and wool socks, they would swap their snow boots for flippers any day. Benny's best buddy, Sally, with her flamingo-pink snorkel and a smile as bright as the Alaskan summer sun, was the fastest swimmer of the bunch. She could do the 'mermaid twirl' even before Benny could say "Go!" All the mischievous otters and sleek seals held their breaths in awe as Sally pirouetted through the icy blue waves. Whether it was spying on the slow-motion world of the giant sea cucumbers or playing hide-and-seek with the curious starfish, snorkeling in AK was a daily adventure for Benny and his Snorkel-Scouts. With the wide Alaskan sky above and a watery wonderland beneath, these kids had more stories to tell than a library full of books. After all, who needs television when you have an entire ocean to explore?
