Elinor Wonders Why

Ari is showing off his new drum moves to Elinor and Olive when Ari’s mother asks him to be quieter so Ari's sister can take a nap. Then, after Olive stays up most of the night reading a fun book, she decides she's going to stay up late every night until she finishes. That makes the kids wonder, why do they need to sleep anyway?

Elinor is on a bit of a fish kick, so she’s super happy when she comes across a new fish friend. Elinor names her friend Spotty and can't wait to show Olive and Ari! There’s something peculiar about Spotty, though. She’s grown legs! Then, after Mr. Lion demonstrates a fun dance for the kids, he encourages them to come up with their own dance routine to express something that they think is special.

Elinor is friends with a chickadee bird she names Chicky, but when snow covers the yard, she starts to worry about how Chicky will find food in the winter! Then, Elinor and her friends are sad after they learn that Señor Tapir is leaving Animal Town for the winter. They decide to give him a special going away present, but don't know what they should give him.
