Video Story | Litterbug

Use this video story from the PBS KIDS show Elinor Wonders Why as a home connection or to show students how to keep the environment healthy and clean.

In this story, 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. The kids decide to help her, but when they finish, they realize that the park they just cleaned is full of litter again! That must mean Animal Town has a litterbug. After doing some investigating the kids realize who the litterbug is – it’s Mrs. Hippo herself! It turns out that one of the bags she was using to collect trash had a hole in it, so she was dropping litter behind her everywhere they went.
