Agatha Fights Lead

Sherman says, "OK, Lead Busters. We found some dangerous lead. What should we do now?"

Agatha says, "Let’s tell some grownups about what we found."

Henry says, "What else?"

Agatha says, "Let’s stay away from lead paint flakes and lead paint dust."

Elisa says, "What else?"

Agatha says, "Let’s wash our hands before we eat and after we play."

Sherman says, "What else?"

Agatha says, "Let’s leave our shoes at the door and wear socks in the house."

Henry shouts, "Or slippers!"

Sherman says, "What else?"

Agatha says, "Let’s eat healthy foods like milk and oranges and broccoli and chicken."

Elisa says, "Broccoli? Yuck. Do I have to?"

All four yell, "We can be lead-safe. We’re the Lead Busters!"

Ms. Marble says, "Shhhhh."
