In this episode of the Wonder World Podcast, Pam and Olivia explore the second week of November with fun days like Forget Me Not Day, Veterans Day, and National Pickle Day. They discuss everything from favorite tongue twisters to Olivia’s love of pickles, and even cover some unique celebrations like American Fancy Rat and Pet Mouse Day!

Listeners will enjoy interesting historical highlights, including the publication of The Ugly Duckling and the first website going live. There’s mouse trivia, some pickle-themed jokes, birthday shoutouts, and a warm reading of The Pumpkin by John Greenleaf Whittier that celebrates the cozy spirit of autumn.

It’s a delightful mix of history, humor, and seasonal fun, perfect for curious kids and families!
