Elinor Wonders Why

Elinor and her class are painting outdoors with the town's enthusiastic art teacher, Mr. Lion, when they all run out of paint. The kids begin to experiment with natural items and discover that nature is full of colors you can use to paint. Then, Elinor, Ari and Olive are in the park when they see Mrs. Hippo picking up litter and doing her best to keep Animal Town clean.

It’s a very snowy day and Elinor, Ari and Olive meet a new friend, Gael the lynx, who has just moved to Animal Town. The kids play snow tag and it quickly becomes clear that Gael is a master at the game. Then, Ari spots a funny looking rock with a smile on it and decides to make it his new friend. When it’s time for a snack, Ari notices that Rocky doesn't eat anything, which makes him worried.

On a camping trip, the kids discover that Ari is really good at playing Marco Polo. Even without saying "Marco," a blindfolded Ari can easily figure out where Olive and Elinor are. How does he do it? Then, while playing at the lake, Elinor and her friends notice something very interesting... they can't see ears on some animals. That's sooo interesting! How do they hear?

It’s Olive’s birthday party and everyone has given her a book as a present, which makes Olive very happy! However, when she goes to her room to put them away, Olive finds there’s no more room. Then, it’s Nature Day at school and Elinor, Olive and Ari must make a Nature Walk at recess. But it's a windy day and they run into problems when their arrow signs keep blowing over!
