Nick!
Don't eat all the pickles.

How can we have a
restaurant,

if we run out
of food to serve?

Serve to who?
No one's coming!

You're right.

[sigh] I wish somebody
would come by.

[ringing bell]

Excuse me, is this
the Pickle Cafe?

[giggles]
The Cat!

The Cat in the Hat!

And a hungry Cat at that!

Do you have a
table for me?

Yes, sir!
This way, please.

Why,
thank you!

What's on the menu today?

Pickles.

Try one!

Oh!

Mmm...
Crunch-a-riffic!

[giggles]

Gee. Nice waiters,
great food -

why aren't there
more people here?

Well, you're the
only one who came.

Only me?

What a shame!

What a waste of
perfect pickles!

We simply MUST bring people
here to try your food...

Okay!
How do we do that?

My friend Eddy knows LOTS
about bringing people to food.

He's a honeyguide bird in
Kwana-ma-ray you know.

Maybe Eddy can tell us
how to bring more people.

Can we go?
Please?

Of course!

Your mother will not
mind at all if you do.

[giggles]

♪ [humming]

Mom!
Ooops.

Hi,
kids.

Everything okay
at the restaurant?

Not exactly.

Nobody's coming!

Can we go to meet a
honeyguide bird in

Kwana-ma-ray, to learn
how to bring more people?

Kwana-ma-ray?
Sure, go ahead.

Thanks,
Mom!

We can go!We can go!
We can go!We can go!

I know!
I know!

To the Thingamajigger!



Why do humans need help
finding food, anyway?

Goldfish never
have that problem.

Ours floats right
on top of the water!

[giggles]

Buckle up!

[horn]



Flick the jiggermawhizzer!

[boing]

[honk]

[pop]



Isn't this fun?

Yahooooooo!

♪ Here we go, go, go, go!
On an adventure. ♪

♪ The Thingamajigger
is up and away! ♪

♪ Go, go, go, go!
On an adventure! ♪

♪ We're flying with the
Cat in the Hat today! ♪

♪ We're off to the woodlands
of Kwana-ma-ray, ♪

♪ to learn to bring folks to
the Pickle Cafe! ♪

♪ Here we go, go, go, go!
On an adventure. ♪

♪ Go, go, go, go, GO!



Welcome to Kwan-ma-ray!

Yea!

Eddy!
Oh Eddy!

Look!

Well, fluff my
feathers - it's Cat!

Nice to see you.

Eddy,
meet Nick and Sally.

Hi!
- Hello!

Hi Sally!
Hi Nick!

So pleased to meet you!
Did you have a good trip?

Yes,
it was fine.

Are you hungry?

No thanks.
I'm full of pickles.

Oh. Well,
maybe later.

So! What brings you
to Kwana-ma-ray?

We were hoping
you could help us.

Nobody's coming to
eat in our restaurant!

And Cat said you know how
to bring people to food.

Oh, you bet
your beak I do!

I was just on my
way somewhere.

But if you tag along,
I'll tell you

everything you need to know.

Okay!
Thanks, Eddy.

Oh, my pleasure.
Let's get going!

Yes sir!

Oooh.

This looks like
a good spot.

For what?

For this!

[LOUD, CHATTERING
HONEYGUIDE CALL]!

Wow!
What was that?

That's my
attention-getting sound!

The one I use when I
have news to share.

About food.

Ooh!
Like a new recipe?

I bet Eddy makes that
sound to tell people

that he knows where
the food is!

Right?
- Bingo!

Do you think making noise
could bring people

to our restaurant?

Just might.

Go on,
give it a try!

[bird call]

[laughs,
mimic bird call]

Not bad!

But maybe you should make
up your own special sound,

to get people's attention.

Hmmm..
Well...

I could do this?

[taps]

Good!

Oh, and how
about this noise?

[taps]

Yeah, yes .
That's the idea!

Hang onto those.

You'll want them
for the show!

[laughs]

Huh?
What show?

Let's find out!



Ladies and Gentlemen,
Cats in Hats!

Now that I have your
attention, are you ready

for the greatest
show in Kwana-ma-ray?

[laugh]
YEAH!

Great!

By the way, you're
all in the show too.

Ooh.
Did I miss rehearsal?

[laugh]
Don't worry.

You'll pick it
up in no time!

[CHATTERING!]

♪ Ho ho ho,
hee hee hee - ♪

♪ Fall in line and
follow me! ♪

♪ Step in time,
step to the b*at ♪

♪ Step to this way
for tasty treat! ♪

What are you waiting for?

Come on!

♪ Ho ho ho,
hee hee hee - ♪

♪ Fall in line and
follow me! ♪

♪ Step in time,
step to the b*at ♪

♪ Step to this way
for tasty treat! ♪

Oh Yes Brilliant!

Stupendous!

I'd follow you
guys anywhere.

Is that how you to get
people to follow you to food?

Oh you bet!

Everyone loves a show.

Would that work for us?

Sure it would!

Now come on, we're
almost there...

Almost where?

It's a surprise!

Ooh!
I just love surprises.

[laughs]



[effort grunts]

I like surprises a lot
better when they're not uphill.

[Whew]
We made it!

You sure did!

And I bet the climb
made you hungry.

Would you like a snack?
Like maybe some...

honey?

Yes, please!
- Oh yummy!

Great!

[buzzing]

Here it is. This bees' nest
is chock full of honey.

But getting it
out is your job.

Our job?

It's called
teamwork, folks.

I already did my part by
guiding you to the honey.

So that's why you're
called a honeyguide bird!

Yep!

And now I need you to get
some food for us to share.

So hop to it!

Wait a second!

You brought us all the
way out here,

just so you could
get some honey?

Of course not!

I want the beeswax,
not the honey.

But we thought you were
showing us how to

bring people to our food!

I was!

And I did it by bringing
you to MY food.

Smart,
huh?

My.
He IS clever! [giggle]

But why do you need us
to get you some food?

Well because I'm not
strong enough to break off

any beeswax by myself.

But a big, strong
human could do it.

Huh?

Or a big,
strong Cat?

Oh well, I AM
rather muscley...

Won't the bees mind if
we take their beeswax?

Hmm.

I'll ask!



Buzz?
Buzz-buzz. Buzza-zuzz?

[curious buzzing]

[buzzing]

Buzzy-buzz-buzz.

[buzzing]

[curious buzzing]

[laugh]

Good news!

They're happy to share
in exchange for some fun,

The bees want a show, by
Thing Two and Thing One!

[whistles]

[funny sounds,
humming]



Hello!

What are those
smoky things for?

Oh, smoke makes bees
feel all warm and fuzzy.

They love it!

But don't try
this at home.

The Things are
expert bee-pleasers.





They like it!

Of course!
[giggles]

Bees appreciate talent.

And I appreciate bees wax.

Let's check out that nest!



Wow, this is one
big bees' nest!

Yummy!

Mm.
So much honey!

Too bad we don't have any
toast to spread it on!

Who says we don't?



[laugh]
Whoa!

Mmmmm!
Yum!

And here's your
beeswax, Eddy.

Thanks for your
help today.

Thanks for yours,
too!

Mmm!
Teamwork.

What a sweet deal.

[eating noises]
[laugh]

Bye,
everyone!

Good luck bringing
people to your food!

We won't need luck.

Thanks to you,
we know just what to do!

Bye Eddy!
Thank you!

See you later!
- Bye!

[laughs]

Isn't it funny,
isn't it great?

How birds and
humans cooperate?

People and honey guides
strike up a deal,

When they work together,
they both get a meal!

[giggles]

All this talk
about food is getting me hungry.

Time for a fish
flake break!

[laugh]

Oh very nice!

That's a great way to
'drum up' business

for your restaurant.

We thought it might
get your attention.

Would you like a pickle?

Oooh I'd love one.



I might need
a little help.

[laugh]
No problem.

[effort]
There!

Thanks,
Mom!

Hey...
they're half-gone!

Huh?

Mm.

[eating sounds]

Mmm-mm-mm.
Crunch-a-riffic!

[laughs]



Will we ever find
the treasure Nick?

We have to get through
this jungle first, Sally.

[effort grunts]

I see it!

There's the treasure!

But we have to cross this
massive river to reach it!

And it's full of
snappy crocodiles!

We can swing over the
river using this.

I'll go first!

Here I goooooo!

Oooof!

[giggles]
Let me try.

Whoaa!

Watch out!

Whoa!
That was close!

The crocodiles
nearly got me!

What are we going to do?

We can't swing across
to reach the treasure.

Did someone say treasure?

It's the Cat!

The Cat in the Hat!

What are you doing?

We're playing
'brave explorers'.

Only, we can't swing
across the river!

Swing,
you say?

Why it's easy!

I'll show you how.

Throw the rope over!

Aagh!

Whee!
Ah!

A crocodile got my tail!

[giggles]

It's a good thing
I know the King of Swing!

A king?
- Yes!

Charlie the chimpanzee in
the Leafylafoo rainforest!

He can give us all
a swinging lesson.

A swinging lesson
from a chimpanzee!

COOL!

Your mother will not
mind at all if you do!

[laughs]
MOM!

Can Nick and I go to the
Leafylafoo rainforest -

to take a swinging lesson
from a chimpanzee?

Leafylafoo rainforest?

Sure - so long as you
SWING back in time for dinner!

[laughing]
We will!

We can go!
We can go!

I know!
I know!

To the Thingamajigger!



Buckle up!

And flick the
Jiggermawhizzer!

Yipee!



Charlie!

Hello?
Anybody home?

[monkey noises]

FISHHH!
- Yikes!

[chuckle] Good to
see you, Charlie!

You too.

Hey, Cat!
What's up?

I brought my friends Sally
and Nick to see you!

[excited ape 'ooohs']
Hey there!

Hi Charlie!

We were hoping you could
give us a swinging lesson.

[ape sounds]
Me?

Sure!
I love swinging...

almost as much as
I love bananas...

MMMM,
I LOOOVE bananas.

[ape calls]

I'll show you how I swing
while we look for some!

Okay!
- Yeah!

Yoo hoooo!
- Huh?

Just a minute there,
son.

You're not going anywhere
'till you've been groomed.

Aww, maaaa.
Do I have to?

YES.

Grooming?
What's that?

Grooming means keeping
yourself clean and neat.

I don't need grooming.

When you live in a bath
you're always clean!

Come on.
- Aw!

[monkey sounds]

You too.
- Us?

Who else?



What exactly are
you looking for?

Bugs!

Yuk!

Grooming is a good way to
keep clean and free of bugs!

My mom likes me
to stay clean too.

Only...
I use shampoo. [giggle]

This is way more fun!

Right and we all get
to spend 'family' time

together too!

Nope.
No.

Nothing.
Wait a minute!

Huh?
- No. False alarm.

[giggles]
Cat!

[giggles]
- All clear.

No bugs here.

But what about you cat?

You haven't been groomed.

You say I need grooming?

What shall I do?

I've got it!

I'll whistle up Thing
One and Thing Two!

[whistles]



Hello!

Hmm.

[laughs]

I wondered what
happened to rubber ducky.

[laughing]

Whoa!

Ah-ha!



Thanks guys.

I knew I had an itch
there somewhere.

Ummmm.

All done here.

Whoohoo!
- Swing time!

Yeah.

Let's go find
some bananas!

Bye Mom.
- Take care everyone!

We will!

[laughs,
monkey sounds]

Whew. Walking like a chimp
is really hard to do.

I prefer walking
on two legs.

I can do that too.

Watch me.

[laugh]

But why walk when
you can SWING?

Yay!

[ape call]...
Your turn!

Ah, C'mon,
you can do it!

Grab the vine,
run at the log, jump up,

and hang on tight!"

Okay.

Woah!

Hey,
I did it!

Horray!

Maybe we can learn to
swing like a chimp?

There.

Whoa!

Hey,
I can do it!

♪ Swing so fast,
swing so high, ♪

♪ swing
me up into the skyyyyyyyy-- ♪

Whoooa!

Ooof.

Cat!

I forgot
to hang on tight.

Itchy, itchy!
[laughs]

I know that
'itchy scratchy' dance -

you landed next to
a termite mound!

Termites?

Oh,
sorry little fellas!

[chattering]

[monkey sounds]

What are you
doing, Charlie?

Using this
stick to catch termites.

They're yummy!

You mean you eat them?

Urgh.

Sure. They're almost as
good as bananas!

No!

You wouldn't!
You couldn't!

Why some of my best
friends are termites!

Well...
okay.

I like bananas
better anyway!

We'll help you find some.

Yah. And where there's bananas,
there's got to be

good places to swing!

You've got that right!

Come on!

[climbing, effort noises]

Wait up Charlie!

[climbing, effort noises]

Weeeeeee!

[monkey sounds]

Hiya!

How does he do that?

I know! Charlie has good
climbing hands!

They look a lot like ours.

So... we should be good at
gripping things too... right?

And look!

Charlie uses his feet too
- not just his hands!

We can't use our feet like
that but we can

wrap our legs around!

Okay let's try swinging
over that big log!

Ready?

Yahooo!

[landing effort]
- That's it! You did it!

[giggles]
- Cool!

Just like a chimpanzee!

Wait for me!

Ahhh!
- Ssssssssssssss!

Oops.

Sorry Mr snake I thought
you were a vine.

[laughs]
[monkey sounds]

What was THAT?

[giggle]
That was ME.

That's the sound I make
when I'm excited...

I was trying to tell my
mom we found lots of-

BANANAS!

Yummy!

I hope she can hear me!

[LOUD PANT-HOOT!]

But... how are we going
to get them?

The bananas are
waaay over there.

Now that's a
reeeally big swing.

Do you think we
can make it across?

Woah guys.

That's too big
a swing for you.

Tell me if you pleeeease,
is it too far for chimpanzeez?

Stand back and watch me!

Go Charlie!

[laughs]

[yodels]

[cheering]

He did it!

Mmmm,
come to Charlie.

A chimpanzee really
is the king of swing!

Way to go Charlie!

I loooove bananas!

[pant-hoots]
- Mom!

[monkey sounds]

[eating sounds]

Bananas.

Thanks!

And thanks for the
swinging lesson, Charlie.

We can swing
really well now

using our hands and our feet.

Thanks to you
too--oo-oh-oh!

Who are chimps like?
I'll tell you who.

Chimpanzees are
much like you!

With hands that grip
and groom and play,

they swing through trees
and like to say,

[monkey sounds]

[laughs]

Look out for the snake!

Whoa!

Weeeeee!

Wha-ho-ooooooo.

Yeah!

[clears throat]

[gasp]
Cat!

Ta-da!

You found the treasure!

What...
what is it? Gold?

Diamonds?

Something even better...

bananaaaas!

Yea!

[giggles]



Psst.
Hey kids,

wanna find out
more stuff

about animals,
plants and well fish?

[laughs]
