Hey there, Wonder World listeners! It's Pam and Olivia here, ready to dive into another fun-filled week of July. It's hard to believe, but July 8th isn't just any ordinary day—it’s National Ice Cream Sundae Day and National Freezer Pop Day! We’re cooling off with sweet treats, and we want to know, what are your favorite ice cream toppings? Journey with us as we uncover interesting holidays throughout the month. July 9th marks Argentina's Independence Day, while July 10th is a double celebration with National Kitten Day and Bahamas Independence Day. Ever wonder why so many nations celebrate their independence in July? Well, Pam thinks it might have something to do with the summer heat flaring up those revolutionary spirits! That's not all we have this week! Celebrate with us as we shout out the famous birthdays this week, including culinary maestro Wolfgang Puck and visionary inventor Nikola Tesla. And a very special happy birthday to our incredible Wonderworld Kids Club members from across the country. Also, get ready to laugh out loud with some ticklishly funny jokes from our young listeners because nothing beats a good chuckle. And to top it all off, we’ll close with a whimsical reading of Emily Dickinson’s poem “Answer July.” Gather the whole family and hit play. It's time to let Wonder World whisk you away into another fun-filled episode. See you there!
