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!
