If you want the little one to practice their reading skills while also seeing photos of the places Usem and Wastem visit in the Pacific Ocean look up Goop Tales on Youtube. Rest assured we’ve taken every necessary precaution for the little one to watch safely, this fun video story is 100% made for children and is marked as such by Youtube!

One day, after trying to trap Tommy, the human visitor to Goop World, they get sent all the way to the Pacific Ocean and find themselves trapped in the Great Pacific Trash Patch. They soon meet a sea turtle who is trapped among the trash, and they are able to free her, but then they all get stuck in the vortex that the trash patch is creating. How can they escape the flow?

Usem finds a magnifying glass among his things, and he uses this to attract a flock of seagulls. But with the trash pulling them closer every minute, how can the seagulls help them escape? Will Usem and Wastem finally learn how to make the best use of everything they have?

Usem and Wastem’s encounter with the Great Trash Patch will teach kids the importance of using things wisely and help them learn how not to waste. Usem and Wastem will have to learn the same if they want to get home. Will they be able to do it?

2:03.5	trash patch. And I thought it was just a little bit of a tongue twister, and I just like the way
2:10.3	it sounds. So I, sounded. So I went with that Ezekiel. And this is what Ezekiel wrote for Use Em and Wasteem. He says,
2:20.7	They almost got gobbled by a trash monster that wants to turn them into trash. Wastom has a
