Episode 63 Venomous Dragons!

In this episode we answer the questions, “What is the one bone in the body that floats?” and “What is the Blue Glaucus and what does it eat?” We learn a fact of the day live from a Wyoming librarian and share a funny chapter book about a kid finding a heap of money. To submit your own question, go to KDL.org/Stump. We can’t wait to hear from you!
