[blow noise]
Mmmmmpppph!

Much better!
That bucket was way too small.

We have the
same problem

Our sandbox is
too small.

Well, its luckity-do
for youthat I came!

I know of a sandbox
that's big big bigger.

And it's just a short ride
in the thingamajigger.

The Gritchty-Gratch
desert is so full of sand,

It's the bestest sandbox
in all of the land.

Do you wanna come?

Yeah!

Your Mother will not
mind at all if you do!

Hey Mom!

Can we go to the
Gritchity-gratch desert

with the Cat in the Hat,
and play in the sand there?

[tongue in cheek:]
Sure!

Just don't get
sand in your socks.

We can go!

Oh no!

Cat what's wrong
with this sand?

This sand is not right,
we need something new.

Cool!

Ta-da!!

I'm going to make

Hey! look at me.
I'm King of the castle.......

Waaaaaaah!
[RUMBLING]

Ohh...

ah!

What is this sand up to?

Is it broken?

We need someone to help us.

You are so smart!

We need to find a sand expert!

Let me see.....

Hmm...no one thisway.

No one thatway.

[Sigh]
I'm sorry to say.

Looks like we're all out
of sand-helpers today...

Great hairy eyeballs!

Actually, those
are my eye lashes.

And how delightful
they are too.

Thanks you.

They keep the sand
out of my eyes.

You're a camel!

Why yes, I am!

Carmela's the name.
And sand is my game.

Pleased to meet you.

This is Sally and Nick.

We came to the desert to
build castles of sand,

But things aren't going
quite as we planned.

Everything we try to
build just falls down.

Well let's see
what you got here.

Hmmm.
Interesting.

You want that
sand to stick,

then you'll have to
get yourself some water.

Where can we find
water around here?

I was about to say
the very same thing!

There's water everywhere
in the desert,

if you know
where to look.

Hidden in bushes
and weeds-

Mmm... Delicious...
andthirst-quenching.

I drink it all the time.

Wow...there iswater!

But not enough to
wet all this sand.

If you want thatmuch
water, you need an OASIS.

An oasis?

What's an oasis?

Well, an oasis is a
water-hole in the desert,

with plants and
trees all round it!

And where are the
places to find an oasis?

I can't see anything but sand.

Me neither.

They're kinda difficult to find,
but I can lead you guys to one.

Hop on and I'll
give y'all a lift.

Thanks Carmela.

Great!
We get to ride a camel!

Thanks, but no thanks.

That hump
looks waytoo bumpy.

[pats bowl] Wouldn't want to
lose even adropofmywater!

Thing one and Thing two,
you drive.

Cat, are you alright?

Fine!
Fine!

Though I do feel
a tad shorter!

Me too!
I'm sinking.

We can't walk
in this soft sand.

Stilts?

I knew these would
come in handy one day.

Ahh, oh!

Or, maybe not.

Hey Carmela...How come you
don't sink into the sand?

My feet are
spread apart really wide

to keep me on the
top of the action.

Wow...If only we could
make ourfeet wider,

we could stay up too!

Ahem!

Soglad I signed up for
those tennis lessons!

These new feet are great!

But camel-riding's better.

Well, hop back on!

I thought you'd never ask!

♪

Your hump really is
comfy, Carmela!

It gives us something
to hold on to.

It's the perfect cat's cradle.

And I've got all the food I
need for a week in my hump.

Just like my hat!

Sandwich anyone?

With real sand.

Mmm!

Crunchy!

Look!

Plants!
Trees!

We made it!

Welcome to the Oasis!

Hurray!

Good job!

[Wheee - bite noise.]

[Dolphin type noise

Oooh, look, the sand
is getting really wet!

Now we can build
whatever we want.

And while you enjoy the sand
- I shall enjoy a little nap!

[Yawn]

So what are going to build?
How about a sand man?

Like a snow man,
only warmer.

Hmmm...

I know!

Let's build a sand camel,
as a thank-you to Carmella

water for our sand!

Great idea.

I'll help.

same thing, wasn't it Nick?

You really are soooo kind!

We went to the desert
and found an oasis.

Made friends with a camel
who loves sandy places.

Her lump's full of food.

Her feet broad and wide.

That's handy when sandy.

Oh boy, what a ride!

May I?

Sometimes it's not how much
sand you have that's important.

It's knowing
