(4) K-3 A city-slicker shark fantasizes about becoming a detective; when he spots a flyer advertising a missing kitty, he sees his chance to prove his investigative chops. It's all a bit blithe, but the chunky, blunt art has allure, and the story's matter-of-factness--besides the hotel-dwelling shark, there's a single-dad-headed family that ultimately adopts him--is an unarticulated plug for open-mindedness.
