[Laughter]

- I found a piece
of the plate, sally.

It fits right here.

- Cool.

Nice work, nick.

Now, where does this piece
of cake go?

- Cake? Did someone say cake?

I love cake.

- It's the cat.
- The cat in the hat.

- If there's a piece of cake
going anywhere,

It's going right here
in my tummy.

Please say it's my favorite,

Mm-mm-mm, chewy chocolate
chunky chunk chip.

- It's a puzzle cake, cat.
- Oh.

Well, puzzle cakes
are my second favorite kind.

[Rumbling]

- What's that rumbly noise?

- Hmm.

Well, I'll tell you something.
It's not thunder.

There's not a cloud in the sky.

- It's my tummy rumbling.

I'm hungry.

[Rumbling]

- What a wonderful rumbly-tumbly
noise.

- My tummy makes that noise
when I'm hungry too.

- Hmm.

Why do our tummies rumble
when we're hungry?

- I don't know,

But I do know someone who does:

Dr. Giggles.

He knows all about our insides.

- Can we go visit him?

- Your mother will not mind
at all if you do.

- Mom, can we go with the cat
in the hat

To find out why tummies rumble
when we're hungry?

- Find out why tummies rumble?

Ooh, just thinking about it
makes me hungry.

I'll fix a snack
for when you get back.

Both: yay.

We can go!
We can go!

- I know! I know!

To the thinga-ma-jigger.

- Mm-mm-mm.

It's very important
to eat a healthy, balanced diet.

- Not only is it good for you,

But it's fun too.

I love balancing my diet.

[Laughter]

Are you ready?
Both: yes, we are.

- Are you steady?
Both: yes, we are.

- Are you sure
you're ready to explore?

Both: yes, we are.

- Then buckle up!

[Horn honks]

Flip the jigger-ma-whizzer.

[Horn honks]

- Welcome to dr. Giggles' house.

- I hope the doctor's in.

- [Cackling]

- It sure sounds like it.

I'd know that laugh anywhere.

- [Laughing]

- Hi, dr. Giggles.

- What's so funny?

- I'm trying to discover...

[Laughing]

Which bone...

Is my funny bone.

- Which one is it?

- They all are.

How can I help you today?

- Dr. Giggles,

Why do our tummies
make a rumbly-tumbly noise

When we're hungry?

- A very good question.

It all has to do
with how tummies work.

But why don't you go
see for yourselves?

- You mean
go inside someone's tummy?

- Not someone.
Something.

When you want to explore
inside bodies like you,

Whistle real loud
for thing one and thing two.

[Whistling]

Both: hello.

- Who wants a tummy rub
from the inside?

Both: oh-oh-oh-oh.

- Hmm.

Rumbly-tumbly
tummies two.

We have to choose one,
and that means you.

- Yay.
- Da-doo-doo-doo.

- How are we going
to get in there?

- The same way our food does.

- Aah.

- Cool.
- Wow.

- To the thinga-ma-jigger.

- Oh, dear, I can't believe

We're going to be eaten
by a thing.

- Me either.

It's not even snack time.

- We'll be quite safe
inside the thinga-ma-jigger.

Press the shrinkamadoodle,
sally.

- Oh.

- Pull the subbery-blubber,
nick.

- Oh, no.
I'm a fishy on a cr*cker.

- Uh-huh.

- Oh. Ahh.

- Over the lips
and past the gums.

Look out tummy, here we comes.

Both: yay!

- Cool.
We're inside thing one's mouth.

- On a cr*cker.

- The beginning
of a fantastic voyage.

- Hi, dr. Giggles.
We see you.

- And I'll see you any moment
now on my scanner-ma-jammer

On your way down to thing one's
tummy right here.

- Oh!

- All aboard
for the chew-chew train.

All: whoa.

- Mind those choppy choppers.

Food is the fuel
our bodies use to go-go-go,

But first it needs to be
in teeny, tiny pieces.

That starts with chewing.

[Laughing]

- [Crunching]

- Mom always tells me
to chew my food.

- She's right.

Your tongue swirls food
around your mouth

For your teeth to chew up
into smaller bits.

- Are they small enough yet?

- Small enough to swallow.

- [Gulp]

- Ooh, there you are.

Next stop, thing one's tummy.

- Whoa.

We're in some sort of tube.

- That's squeezing us down.

- Don't you just love
a good squishy squeeze?

- That squeeze goes one way
to help food and drink go down.

- And stay down.

All: whee.

Wow.

- Welcome to thing one's
rumbly-tumbly tummy.

Watch this.

- Look.

It's squishy and squooshy.

- [Laughing]

- Tummies are where food
gets ground up even smaller.

- How does something
squishy do that?

- Maybe it happens down there.

Who's in for a swim?
I know I am.

- I don't think
that's a good idea.

- Me either.

Look.

[Bubbling]

- Hmm. Are you sure?

Let's try with this cherry.

[Hissing and bubbling]

All: whoa.

- Tummies are full
of strong juices

That help make
chewed-up food even smaller.

[Laughing]

Just the sight of food is enough
to get those tummy juices going.

- [Gasps] maybe that's what
happened to nick

When he saw our cake puzzle.

- And my tummy
started to rumble.

- But what makes
that rumbly sound?

All: yahoo!

- That was awesome.

- Tummies roll food around
until it's small enough

For our bodies to use.

All: yahoo!

- So that rumbly-tumbly sound is
the sound of my tummy working.

- Like a gurgly-wurgly pipe
filled with tummy juice.

- It happens all the time.

Only when your tummy's empty,
it sounds a lot louder.

[Rumbling]

- Whoa.
- It's getting very rumbly.

- And these tummy juices
have gotten much deeper.

- That cr*cker made thing one's
tummy hungry for more.

[Laughing]

- Maybe he should eat something?

- Yeah.
All: whoa!

- Good thinking.

Oh, waiter,
some strawberry snacks, please.

- Fa-fa.
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa.

- Yum-yum.

[Gobbling] mm.

- Incoming!

[Splash]

- Is that red blob a strawberry?

- Once food is chewed up, well,
my goodness, it's hard to tell.

[Splashing]

- Everything's getting mixed up
together.

- Like ice cream soup.

- His tummy's doing its job

Making those strawberry snacks
smaller.

- Uh, I think thing one's tummy
thinks we're snacks too.

- Time to go.

- Hey, how about that way
down that tunnel?

- That's a very wiggly
and windy way out.

- I know a much faster way.

- Huh?
- Wait for it.

- Mm. Hm-hm-hm.

[Gulps] oh.

[Belching]

All: yahoo!

- [Giggles]
do-do-do.

[Laughter]

- Burps are a way for tummies
to let out trapped air.

Both: and subbery-blubbers.

- Good-bye, subbery-blubber.

Hello, thinga-ma-jigger.

- Whoa.
- Whoa.

Yeah.

Thanks for telling us
all about tummies, dr. Giggles.

- Any time.

[Laughing]

Good-bye.

[Laughter]

All: good-bye.

- [Rumbling]

Sounds like I'm still hungry.

- I hope your mom
made us a snack.

- Tummies rumble and tumble
as they work for you.

Making food smaller is the job
that they do.

[Laughing]

- Look, nick, your mom
made us a cake for snack time.

- Who wants a piece?

- I do. I do.

Out of curiosity,
what kind is it?

[Rumbling]

- Your rumbly-tumbly knows.

All: chewy chocolate
chunky chunk chip.

Yay!

[Laughter]

- Very good.
- Thank you.

- Mm.
All: yummy.

[Laughter]

- Hi, kids.

Today I have a very hard
question for you.

Are you ready?

Which of these three animals
does not drink water?

Is it a lion,
or is it a seagull,

Or is it a frog?

Did you say that the frog
does not drink water?

That's right.

Frogs don't drink water
like you do.

They get their water by soaking
it in through their skin.

Did you get it this time?

Well, next time
I'll stump you for sure.

Both: time to take a picture
with our snapper-rama cameras.

- I'll take the picture.

- And I'll guess what it is.

[Shutter snaps]

- Okay, sally, take a guess.

- Oh, a puzzle.

I see an animal
with a long tail and big feet.

It looks like a kangaroo.

- When kangaroos
stand up really tall,

They use their tails
to help them keep their balance.

- Great photo, nick.

- Look, there's more over there.

Daisies.

- Tulips.

- Roses.

Wow, sally,

We named all the flowers
in the garden.

- Playing the name game
is fun, nick.

What should we name next?

- How about hats?

- Good one.

Baseball cap.

- Oh, sunhat.

- Stripy hat.

- Huh?

- My favorite kind.

- It's the cat.

- The cat in the hat.

- Now that you've named
all the hats,

What should we name next?

- We named everything
in the world we can think of.

- Then we'll have to name things

That are out of this world,
like the planets.

Both: wow.

- Earth is here.

It's what we're standing on
right now.

- Cool.

- There are eight planets
to name,

And on this model they all stack
on the bright yellow sun.

See?

Oh, dear.

- Oh, cat, don't worry.

We'll get the planets for you.

- But where do they go
on cat's model?

- Let's see,
earth would go--

No, i--ugh.

I can never remember.

- Then how will we fix it?

- By going to space and taking
a look at the real thing.

Both: yay!

- And while we're there,

We can play
the planet name game too.

- Your mother will not mind
at all if you do.

- [Laughing]

Come in, mom.
This is nick.

Can we go to space
with the cat in the hat

To play the planet name game?

Over.

- Play the planet name game?

Roger that.

I can't name a better game.
Over and out.

- Thanks, mom.

Both: we can go!
We can go!

- I know! I know!

To the thinga-ma-jigger.

Buckle up.
[Horn honks]

Pull the space-a-ma-racer.

Both: wow!

- This is so cool.

- Get ready for booma-blasters

In ten, nine, eight,
seven, six...

- We're going to blast off
like real astronauts.

- I can't wait.

- Neither can i.

Five, four, three, two, one.

[Horn honks]

- Welcome to space.

- Wow.

- That's planet earth.

- The blue parts
are swirly-whirly oceans.

- Here's the blue planet.

It looks just like earth.

- But where does it go
on the model?

- Yeah.

I don't see any other planets.

- The other planets
are far away.

- But we'll zooma-ma-zoodle
there super fast

Once you put these on.

- Why do we need sunglasses
in space?

- You'll see when I press
the zooma-ma-zoodle.

Both: wow.
- Cool.

All: yahoo!

- Wow. That was awesome.

- And so is that.

- Whoa.

When did the sun get so big?

- It's always this size.

We just traveled
much closer to it.

- Let's start naming planets.

That sun is making me hot.

Whew.

- There's one over there.

What's its name?

- My snapper-rama camera

Says the name
of whatever you point it at.

- Thanks, cat.

- Planet mercury.

- Mercury looks much smaller
than earth did.

Nick, look for a small ball
to put back on cat's model.

- How about this teeny-weeny
one?

- Mercury is the closest planet
to the sun.

Isn't this fun?

- What do we add next?

I don't see any other planets.

- Let's take a closer look.

Hmm.

Why, there's one right
over there.

- All I can see
is that bright, shiny star.

- That's not a star.

It's a planet.

Only it's so far away,
it's just a dot in the sky.

- What's its name?

- Let's go find out
with a quick zooma-ma-zoodle.

All: yahoo!

- You were right, cat.

There is another planet.

- Planet venus.

- Venus looks very yellow
and stormy.

- It's no place for a picnic.

- Look for a yellow ball
to put back in the second place,

Nick.

- Hmm. How about this one?

- A perfect match.

- You found planet one and two.

That's only six more to go.

- And I assume the next one
you know.

Both: we do?

- It's that-a-way.
Hey-hey.

Both: wahoo!

- It's planet earth.

- Ah.
Home sweet home.

- The blue planet
is easy to find.

After mercury and venus,
it's earth.

Which planet comes next?

- Let's zooma-ma-zoodle
to find out.

All: whoopee!

- Who put that big red ball
there?

- It must be another planet.

- Let's see.

- Planet mars.

- The red planet
is one of my favorite planets.

It goes with my red stripy hat.

- So this red ball must be mars.

- The planet name game
is lots of fun.

All: ooh! Whoa!

- What was that?

- Those are asteroids.

There are lots of rocks
floating in space.

- How are we going
to get through?

- When you need a space bump,
there's just one thing to do.

Whistle real loud for thing one
and thing two.

[Whistles]

- Whee.
- Whee.

Both: hi.

- Would you be so kind
as to clear the way through?

Both: ooh.
[Giggling]

[Laughter]

- Whoo-hoo.

- Those things
are great bumpers.

All clear.

Both: yay.

- Time to zooma-ma-zoodle.

All: yahoo!

- [Shivering]
- why's it so cold?

- The f-f-further
you go from the sun,

The c-c-colder it gets.

- These will certainly
keep you two warm.

- Ooh. Thanks.

I hope we find the next planet
soon.

- [Gasps]

I think it found us.

Both: wow.

- Awesome.

- Planet jupiter.

- Whoa.

Jupiter's giant.

- It's the biggest planet
out here.

- Look for the biggest ball
to put back.

- Found it.

- Mercury, venus, earth, mars,

And now jupiter.

- Wait until you see
which planet is next.

All: yahoo!

Whoa.

- We found a space rainbow.

- Oh, wait,
it's not a space rainbow.

It's colorful rings
going around another planet.

All: whee!

[Giggling]

- This planet with rings
is one of my favorite things.

- What's its name?

- Let's see.

[Camera whirs and beeps]

- Planet saturn.

- Look for a ball
with colorful rings, nick.

- This must be saturn.

- What a jewel.

Let's zooma-ma-zoodle.

All: yahoo!

- Wow, sally,
we've named six planets.

- There are only two planets
left.

- But which one goes where?

- You look for another planet
with rings,

And I'll look for one
that's greeny-blue.

- Over there,
a planet with rings,

Only they go up and down.

- Look.

There's a greeny-blue planet
too.

- What are their names?

[Camera whirs and beeps]

- Planet uranus.

Planet neptune.

- Uranus and neptune,

Twin planets
that are not quite the same.

- Uranus goes here
because it's closer.

- And neptune goes here
because it's the only one left.

- We named all eight planets.

- And you fixed my model.

Thanks, guys.

My, you're clever.

- C-c-can we g-g-go home
n-n-now?

- Then let's go.

Planet earth.

All: yahoo!

- [Sighs]

The planet name game was fun.

- What shall we name next?

- How about naming the stars?

- Oh, cat,
that would take all night.

- Then we better get started.

There's sally and nick

And jeffrey and preston
and susie and jake.

Oh, and there's stella.

Hi, stella.

[Laughter]

- Welcome to hat chat.

- Today we're going
to chat with dr. Giggles.

Both: happy birthday.

- Well, thank you very much.

- Oops.
I got the card dirty.

- Ooh. Wait just a minute.

[Laughing]

A fingerprint.

- What's that?

- Look.

- Oh, you have a bunch
of loopy lines on your finger,

Dr. Giggles.

- Those are my fingerprints.

Those lines are ridges
in our skin

That help our fingers
feel things.

Every fingerprint is different.

Let's look at yours to compare.

- Look.
Mine are different.

- Every time
you touch something,

You leave behind fingerprints.

- [Laughing]

- Thanks for chatting with us
about fingerprints.

- And thank you for the card.

[Laughter]

The cat in the hat
has a wonderful notion.

Join me in exploring
deep down in the ocean.

There are creatures that swim
and creatures that crawl

And some kinds of creatures
that don't move at all.

Their fins and their tails
help move fish around.

They slip through the water
not making a sound.

A squid squirts out water
to help it swim well.

The scallop can move
by flapping its shell.

Crab uses its legs to walk
on the sand

Down on the seabed
or up on the land.

A sea star
slowly inches its way.

Just moving a little
can take the whole day.

Jellyfish drift
so they can go with the tide,

Not swimming so much
as just hitching a ride.

I'm glad you decided
to dive here with me

And swim with the creatures
that live in the sea.

Both: time to take a picture
with our snapper-rama cameras.

- I'll take the picture.

- And I'll guess what it is.

[Shutter snaps]

- Take a guess.
- Hmm.

It looks like a hairy straw.

Oh, hey,
it looks like a feather.

- That's right, nick.

This is a feather
from a sparrow.

- How come the feather
is on the ground?

- Birds will sometimes
lose their feathers

So that new ones can grow in.

- Great photo, sally.
