Wandering Wenda (also known as The Wide World of Wandering Wenda) is a 2017 Canadian animated series from Breakthrough Entertainment (previously known for Atomic Betty and Jimmy Two-Shoes) that aired on CBC Kids. It is the Animated Adaptation of the children's book Wandering Wenda and Widow Wallop's Wunderground Washery, which was written by the legendary Canadian author Margaret Atwood (who works on the series as an executive producer).Aimed at preschoolers and kids just learning to read, Wandering Wenda teaches kids about words, sounds, and language through the adventures of Wenda and her friends Wesley the woodchuck and Wu, as they travel the world on all sorts of wild, weird and wonderfully exciting adventures jam-packed with alliteration featuring every last bit of vocabulary from each letter in the alphabet that the writers could possibly jam into 26 episodes of 8 minutes of children's television.This was the final children's cartoon to be produced by Breakthrough Entertainment before they sold the rights to most of their animated kids' library to 9 Story Media Group in 2018.

Creator Cameo: Margaret Atwood herself appears in the intro and interacts with Wenda, and then appears at the end to close the book that signifies the episode is over.

Alliterative Title: Every single episode has a repeating letter of which letter it's focused on. The series itself also qualifies, as its titled Wandering Wenda.

comment
Reality Warper: Whenever Wenda shouts, "Wordplay will save the day," RUN. She can arbitrarily pick any word pertaining to anything in her vicinity (noun, verb, it doesn't matter) and substitute the letter (or letters, like 'qu' one time) of the day to alter its spelling and manifest whatever the new things she spells is. This can either erase the previous topic from existence or supplement it with the new topic.

Fairy Godmother: In "The Fairy Fiasco in Funland", the aforementioned godmother appears and asks Wenda to Make a Wish... and was actually created by Wenda in the first place because F is the letter of the day.

Here There Be Dragons: The episode "The Disco Dragon of Detroit" has a "HERE BE DRAGONS" sign which Wenda opens (thinking it a decoy) to find an actual dragon behind it. The Duchess of Disco emerges from the "HERE BE DRESSING ROOMS" door beside it after asking if they opened the dragon door.
