Opal and the Whiffy Whale Bottle

Opal is excited to bring cucumber boats to her class Garden Snack Picnic, but her beloved whale bottle and lunchbox release a sour smell. Embarrassed, she wants to hide them. Keegan and Teacher Susanna help her follow a picture map: empty, rinse, scrub, bubble, rinse again, and dry open. When a hidden straw tunnel reveals one last problem, Opal uses bottle and straw brushes and learns that clean corners and open-air drying keep snack things fresh.
