Elinor Wonders Why

The kids are observing butterflies and caterpillars when they realize that they’ve never seen a baby butterfly! How can this be?! They decide that they just need more observations and head off to investigate. Then, Elinor, Ari and Olive decide to put on a circus for all of their friends!

A mystery is afoot at Elinor's school when one of the class plants grows in an unusual shape. Instead of growing straight up like the other plants, this plant is growing in a zig-zag pattern! Then, Insect Day is coming up at school and Elinor couldn’t be more thrilled to finish her home-made butterfly costume.

After the lake freezes over, Elinor and her friends wonder what happens to all their fish friends during the wintertime. How can they survive? Then, while the kids are playing pirates in search of pirate treasure, pirate Ari realizes that he forgot where he hid their treasure.

Elinor is very excited because she’s visiting her grandparents in the desert! While out exploring with her grandmother, the always curious Elinor comes across a peculiar looking owl that is smaller than any other owl she's ever seen. Then, Olive shows her friends her favorite tree in the forest. The next day, however, they’re sad to see that the tree has fallen over.
