Join Jill and Liz as they answer the questions, “Why are Dalmatians associated with fire trucks?” and “How do hamsters fit so much stuff in their cheeks?” We also share a fun fact of the day about the Artic Birds and a graphic novel about DND playing dogs. To submit your own question, go to KDL.org/Stump or email us at stumpthelibrarian@kdl.org We can’t wait to hear from you!
