On Wednesday, September 5th at 6:00 p.m., TVOKids premieres A WORLD OF WONDERS (WOW), an adventure series that kids and their families will enjoy watching together.

She also takes a dip in the Dead Sea, stops by the Jordanian desert to have tea with a Bedouin family, and jets off to Paris, where she greases the mighty Eiffel Tower’s huge pistons with French fry fat and gets a close up view of the Mona Lisa at The Louvre.

WOW will also debut on The Knowledge Network on Tuesday, September 4th at 6:37 p.m. and Saskatchewan’s SCN on Wednesday, September 26th at 5:00 p.m.
