Once upon a time in the wondrous state of North Carolina, where the Blue Ridge Mountains stretched out like a giant's afternoon nap, and the Outer Banks played hide and seek with the Atlantic Ocean, lived a sprightly bunch of kids. They were not just any ordinary kids, no no no! They were the Kung Fu Kids of Carolina! In every nook and cranny of this splendid state, from the sassy city of Charlotte to the fun-loving town of Fayetteville, these kids trained in the ancient art of Kung Fu. Their leader was a panda named Paddy. Now, Paddy was no ordinary panda, he was a wizard Panda!

He could somersault faster than a cheetah and was funnier than a box of ticklish monkeys. Day in and out, Paddy trained these enthusiastic youngsters to become Kung Fu masters. They learned to leap like leopards, punch like pythons, and kick faster than kangaroos! But the most important part of Paddy's training, was making them laugh. He’d twist his chubby panda body into hilarious poses, make funny faces, and even tell jokes while balancing on one paw.
