ClassX Video Lessons Grade Grade 2 The Boy Who Wondered | A story about adventure through imagination
Hi everyone! Welcome back to the Storytime Family. How are you doing today? Have you gone on any trips recently? Maybe you’ve flown on a plane or visited family you haven’t seen in a while. Traveling is so exciting, isn’t it?
Today, we have a special story called “The Boy Who Wondered” by Mark Stark. Let’s dive into the adventure!
There was a boy who loved to wonder about everything! He thought about big things and small things, like beaches and balloons, and even chatty baboons. He imagined people and animals, and faraway places and places nearby.
He wondered about things that are old and new, and having a lot or just a little. He dreamed of traveling and finding treasures, and meeting new friends and family.
He imagined flying with birds and making up amazing words. He thought about talking without using words and drawing with chalk on sidewalks in cities from long ago. He even imagined learning in fun ways, like rhyming classes!
He dreamed of tribes dancing around a fire and people walking in the desert. He loved the idea of voices playing with purpose. He imagined the magic of night, with colors that make you happy, and touching the sky, sun, and stars. He dreamed of moving faster than the fastest cars and exploring beyond our world.
He wondered about sleep and dreams, and all the possibilities they bring. He thought about choices and realities, and how things move and change. He imagined being part of all these things while enjoying some yummy dumplings!
He dreamed of new ways to see the world and just be himself. He thought about smiling at everyone he meets and seeing the goodness in their hearts.
And that was the boy who wondered. What do you wonder about? Do you let your imagination take you to different places? We hope you enjoyed the story!

Wonder Walk: Go on a short walk around your neighborhood or a nearby park with a family member or friend. As you walk, look around and wonder about the things you see. Ask yourself questions like, “Why is the sky blue?” or “How do birds fly?” Share your thoughts and questions with your walking partner. When you return, draw a picture of something you wondered about and write a sentence or two about it.
Imagination Station: Create a “Wonder Box” using a small box or container. Fill it with objects from around your home that make you curious, like a seashell, a feather, or a small toy. Each day, pick one item from the box and think about what makes it special or interesting. Write down or draw your thoughts in a “Wonder Journal.” Share your favorite wonderings with your family at dinner.
Storytime Creations: After listening to “The Boy Who Wondered,” think about your own story of wonder. What would you wonder about if you could go anywhere or do anything? Draw a picture of your adventure and write a short story to go with it. Share your story with your class or family and ask them what they wonder about too!
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the YouTube transcript:

It’s very exciting to be able to travel again, don’t you think?
Well, today we have a book called “The Boy Who Wondered” by Mark Stark. Let’s have a look.
There was a boy who wondered of things big and tall, little and small. There was a boy who wondered of beaches and balloons, and talkative baboons. Of people and faces and animal chases, there was a boy who wondered of faraway places and near.
There was a boy who wondered of old and new, and plenty and few, of travels and treasures, and yet to meet friends and family. There was a boy who wondered of flying with birds and creating fantastic words, of talking without talk and sidewalk chalk forgotten in cities lost in time, and classes taught in rhyme.
There was a boy who wondered of tribes dancing before a fire, of Bedouins walking in desert attire, of voices playing purposefully. There was a boy who wandered off into the magic of night and colors that delight, of touching the sky, the sun, the stars, of moving faster than the fastest of cars, of living without age and exploring beyond this world stage.
There was a boy who wondered of sleep and dreams and possibilities, and the nature of choice and realities, of movements and currents and directions and intersections. There was a boy who wondered of being part of these things while enjoying some dumplings.
There was a boy who wondered of new ways to see and to simply be, of smiling at every person you greet and seeing the heart of everyone you meet.
There was a boy who wondered, and what do you wonder about?
And that was the boy who wondered. Why don’t you leave us a comment and let us know what you wonder about? Do you let your imagination take you to different places?
