What's the Story?
KEMY is a show about a group of friends who play in the grocery store together. Their interactions naturally lead to a question that one of the characters has, and they work together to find out the answer. In the process they discover things they never knew before, such as where milk comes from, why tomatoes are green, and how some animals blend in with their environments to make it easier for them to hide.
Is It Any Good?
This animated show is visually appealing for young ones but also contains content appropriate for an older preschool group. The characters in Kemy use their imaginations and work together to explore and discover answers to their various questions. Story content is simple for young children to understand yet engaging enough for parents to be entertained as well.
Talk to Your Kids About ...
Families can talk about the different things they see in the Kemy grocery store that are similar and dissimilar to their own. They can discuss the fact that the secondary characters are typically vending machines or shelves and how none of them seems to be as intelligent as the main characters, possibly suggesting that junk food does not make you as smart.
Kids: Ella the elevator takes the characters anywhere in their imaginations that they would like to go. Where would you want Ella the Elevator to take you? What would you do there? Whom would you take with you? What would you discover?
How do the characters in Kemy demonstrate curiosity and teamwork? Why are these important character strengths?

Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
