Each fortnight, we give the world globe a spin, and see where we land. Then, we take the kids of Australia on an audio excursion to visit that country and its people. Join your captain, Christie Kijurina, on an audio adventure. Today, we’re flying to the United States of America—a country known for its world-famous landmarks, like the Grand Canyon, and traditions like Thanksgiving with turkey and pumpkin pie. It’s where basketball was invented and where you’ll find everything from towering skyscrapers to vast deserts. So, strap yourselves into the Squiz Kids Super Fast Supersonic Jetliner as we take off and explore the USA!
