Hey there, Wonder World listeners! It's Pam and Olivia, and we're here to fill your day with wonder, poetry, and fun. We've got a week filled with delightful celebrations, including Tulip Day, National Sea Monkey Day, and more. Plus, don't miss the chance to indulge in some pizza on Pizza Party Day!

This week we also dive into a bit of history, learning about the settlement of Jamestown, Virginia, the Lewis and Clark expedition, the declaration of Israel as an independent state, and the invention of root beer and the nickel.

Get ready for some hilarious listener jokes, some special birthday shout-outs to our Wonder World Kids Club members, and we’ll wrap up with a lovely poem titled, "The Flower at My Window" by poet Lucien B. Watkins, evoking the beauty of a blooming flower.

Gather the whole family, grab a snack, and hit play. It's time to let Wonder World whisk you away into another fun-filled episode. See you there!
