- Aww. Nick, look what I've got.

- Hey, a hamster!

- Her name's honey,
and guess what she has!

- A baby hamster!

Can I hold it, sally?

- Sure!

- Come on, little guy.

You're so cute.

- Watch this.

Honey likes to ride
on my shoulder.

- Maybe baby hamster
would like that, too.

[Hamster chattering ]

[Laughing]

He's tickling my neck.

Now he's gone down my back!

Whoa!

- [Laughing]

I've got him.

- Bravo!

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

- That is one fantastic
wiggle-jiggle dance.

- I wasn't dancing, I was trying
to hold the baby hamster.

- Maybe we aren't holding
him right.

- Do you know
the right way, cat?

- How do you hold a baby?

Oh, there's so many
different ways.

Do you use a pan, a small banjo,
or one of santa's old sleighs?

- That doesn't sound right.

- I know, why don't we
go to ozzie-wozz outback.

I have friends there who know
a lot about carrying babies.

- That sounds great!
- Can we go?

- We can.

Your mother will not mind
at all if you do.

- [Laughs]

Mom, can nick and I go
to the ozzie-wozz outback

To find out
how to carry the baby hamster?

- The ozzie-wozz outback?

Sure, but make sure you
carry yourselves back home soon.

- We will!

Both: we can go, we can go!

- I know, I know!

To the thinga-ma-jigger!

- Buckle up.

- Welcome to ozzie-wozz outback.

Does anyone see my friend
wilma, the wolf spider?

- We're too big
to visit a spider.

- Not for long.

Press the shrinkamadoodle, nick.

Let's see if wilma's home.

Wilma!

- Shh-shh-shh-shh-shh!
You'll wake the babies.

- So sorry.
- No worries.

It's good to see you.

- Meet my friends
sally and nick.

- Hi.
- Hello.

- Ah. G'day, mates.

- Can you help us?

We want to know about the best
way to carry a baby.

[Together]
mommy, mommy!

- Uh-oh, here comes trouble!

[Together]
mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy!

- Wow, you've got a lot
of babies.

- You've a giant baby wagon,
or a multi-seat stroller?

- No, I use the hairs
on my back, of course.

Take a look.

All aboard!

- That looks like fun.

- Can we try?

- Yeah, you sure can.

Let the babies grab hold
of the bristles on your back.

- Uh, we don't have bristles.

- Lucky that I have some
bristle-o-matic jackets with me.

- Cool.

- Thanks, cat.

[Together]
mommy, mommy, mommy!

- Look, we're bristly now!

Just like wilma.

[Both laughing]

- Go on, babies, hop on.

- Look at all the spider babies
we're carrying.

- This is awesome!

- [Laughing]

- These bristles on our back
really work.

- But I think the babies
would rather be with their mom.

- Come on, little ones, hop on.

- Thank you for showing us
a great way

To carry babies, wilma.

- And there are
so many more ways to see.

To the thinga-ma-jigger!
- Bye, wilma!

- Bye, babies!

- Bye!

- Ooh, I can see the ocean.

- That's where we're gonna
find dilly the crocodile,

Right by the seashore.

Dilly's quite large,
and we're still spider-size.

Press the biga-ma-boodle, sally.

Well, hello, dilly.

Meet sally and nick.

- Hello.

Ooh, you are just in time.

My eggs are hatching.

Oh, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa!

It's time, it's time!

- Mommy!
- Mommy!

- Mommy!
- Ooh, hello.

Both: aww.

- Now, I need to carry
you all somewhere safe.

[Groaning]

- You're not gonna eat them,
are you?

- Oh, no, I'm not.

This is my way
to carry my babies.

- Mommy!
- Mommy!

- Mommy!
- Mommy!

- We could help carry some!

- Thank you,

But you need
a big mouth, like mine.

- Crocodile mouths
coming right up.

- Thanks, cat!
- Ready?

- Ready!

little crocodile.

You can go back to your mom.

[Together]
mommy, mommy!

- That was fun.

- They did jump about
in my croc mouth,

But it's a fun way
to carry a baby.

- And there's still one more way
to see.

Next stop, a mom
who lives in a tree.

Both: yay!

- Bye, dilly.
- See you later!

- Bye-bye, everyone.

- There's coco's place,

The tallest gum tree
in ozzie-wozz outback.

- Hmm.

- Coco!

That koala could be anywhere.

- Huh? What's a koala?

- A cuddly little thing

Who likes to live
in gum trees like this.

Ahh!

- Careful, cat!

Is that coco?

- It is.

- Oh, good day, cat.

- And a very good day
to you, coco.

Meet my friends nick and sally.

- Sorry for waking you up.

- No worries.

I just nodded off there.

- Who looks after your baby
while you sleep?

- I do.

- Where is he?

- Surprise!

Both: whoa!

- Hi, baby!

- Meet my joey.

- You have a special pocket
to keep your baby in!

- What a great way
to carry a baby!

- Why not try it for yourselves?

- Cool, our own pouches!

- Can we take turns
carrying joey?

- Oh, I don't know about that.

He doesn't like
to leave his mom.

- You're right,
but three toy koalas will do.

They're packed in the trunk
with thing one and thing two.

[Whistles]

Both: hello!

Ta-da!

Uh! Oh! Yahoo!

Ahh!

- [Gasps]

- Ahh!
- Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh!

[Both grunting]

- Yahoo!

[Both chattering indistinctly]

- Thanks, things!

Both: bye!

- Let's see
how to carry a baby koala-style.

♪ Baby-carrying day ♪

- That is a great way

- We could carry
the little hamster like that!

- Hmm.
I've got another idea.

- Then what are we waiting for?

To the thinga-ma-jigger!

- Bye, coco!
- Bye, joey!

- Bye-bye.

- To carry a baby,
now which way is best?

On your back, in your mouth,
or a pouch on your chest?

The answer is plain
and easy to see.

I'll do it the way
that works best for me.

Ah!

- So how should we carry
the baby hamster?

On our backs, like a spider?

- Yikes! No, too tickly.

- We can't put him
in our mouth...

[Laughs]

- Ugh! Too furry on the tongue.

- And we don't have pouches.

- So what do we do?

- All the babies we met
were happiest with their moms.

Why don't we just
leave them here together?

- You're right.

Both: aww.

- They're so cute.

- Sally, nick,
who wants ice-cream?

Both: me!

[Laughter]

- Aww, aren't moms great?

- Hi, kids!

It's important
to eat your vegetables,

But which one of these
is really a fruit?

Is it a cabbage,
or is it a carrot,

Or is it a tomato?

So which of these foods
is really a fruit?

Did you say
that it's the tomato?

A tomato has seeds inside,
so that makes it a fruit.

Did you get it this time?

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

Both: time to take a picture
with our snap-o-rama cameras!

- I'll take the picture.

- And I'll guess what it is!

- 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.

[Laughter]

[Laughter]

- Yay! I win!

- It was almost a tie, sally.

- We're both pretty fast, nick.

- I wish we
could go even faster.

Yay! Go, go, go! Whoo-hoo!

- As fast as a car!

- As fast as an airplane!

- Or a peregrine!

- Whoa!
- Ta-da!

- It's the cat!

- The cat in the hat!

- What's a peregrine?

- My friend
perry the peregrine.

He's the fastest creature
in the world.

- But what is a peregrine?

- Why don't we let
it be a surprise?

- Wow, I love surprises.

- If perry's the fastest
creature in the world,

He must be a cheetah!

Roar! Roar!

- Or a dolphin!

[Chirping]

- Or a monkey,
swinging through the trees.

Ooh-ooh-ah-ah-ah!
Ooh-ooh-ah-ah-ah!

- Oh, waiting is hard, isn't it?

Let's get to
steep-and-deep cliffs right now,

So you can see for yourself.

Your mother will not mind
at all if you do.

- Mom, can we go with cat

To steep-and-deep cliffs
to meet perry the peregrine,

The fastest creature
in the world?

- A peregrine
on steep-and-deep cliffs?

Okay, but hurry back.

- [Laughs]

We will.

Both: we can go, we can go!

- I know, I know!

To the thinga-ma-jigger!

- You know, I might just be
the fastest fish in the world.

Did you see that?

No one can swim
around my bowl faster.

- [Laughs]

That's pretty speedy.

- You're the fastest fish
I know.

- Buckle up.

Can you see your friend?

- How big is he?

- Hmm.

He's smaller than we are,

So we should get smaller, too.

Press the shrinkamadoodle,
sally!

Perry!

Look, there he is!

- Perry's a bird!

- That's right,
a peregrine falcon!

- That is a surprise!

It looks like he's just
hanging in the air.

- Just looking around,
perry doesn't go fast,

But when he does go fast,
there's no b*ating him.

Both: whoa!

- Hi, cat. Great to see you.

- Hello.

- Oh,
and you brought some friends!

- Nick, sally,
meet my fast friend,

Perry the peregrine falcon.

- Hi, perry!
- Hi, perry!

- Hi, everybody!

- How did you get down here
from up there so quick?

- Can you show us
how to go fast like you?

- I'd be happy
to show you a few tricks.

Follow me.

- Um, perry.

- We can't fly.

- Hmm.
Arms instead of wings?

And no big chest muscles
like me, for flapping?

I don't think
this is going to work.

- Children are not meant to fly,

That is true,

Unless they've got help
from thing one and thing two!

[Whistles]

Both: hello!

Ah-ha!

Hello!

Ta-da!

Bye-bye!

- Hmm, what does this button do?

Whoa, wings!

- Wow.

- I bet we can go fast now!

- But how will we know
how fast we're going?

- You need a zoom-o-meter.

- What's a zoom-o-meter?

- This is a zoom-o-meter.

- A zoom-o-meter
is the best kind of gizmo I know

For measuring
how many zooms you can go.

- How fast am i, fish?

- According to the zoom-o-meter,

You're zooming as fast
as a turtle.

- I can zoom faster than that.

- So can i!

- Now you're as fast as bunnies.

- Bunnies?

- That's not very fast.

- Ah, you'll go faster than
that when we're flying.

Up we go!

Both: huh?

- Let's try them out.

Hey, it works!

Yay! Yahoo!

- Yippee!

- We're doing it, we're flying!

- This is amazing!

- Fly, nick! Fly, sally!

- Follow the leader, sally!

[Both laughing]

Both: whoo-hoo!

- My turn to lead, nick!

[Both laughing]

- Whoo-hoo!
- Yahoo!

- Nick, sally, now you're going
as fast as a galloping horse!

- Wow, flying is faster!

- Isn't this fun?

- Peregrine falcons go fastest
when we dive.

That's why I brought you up
so high.

- We are super high!

- But we still
need one more thing.

- Huh?
What's that?

- Food!

That's why I dive,
to catch food.

- I think I've got something
to nibble.

Try this! Oh!

- Ooh, yum!

All: go, perry!

- I've never seen anyone
as fast as that!

- He's going as fast
as a peregrine falcon.

That's as fast
as the zoom-o-meter goes.

All: hooray!

- Good job, perry!

- Great catch!

- Yeah! Tasty snack, cat.

Your turn, nick and sally!

- Okay!
- First...

- You look for food.

- You got it, sally.

- More food, coming up!

- Perry,
you must have super-strong eyes

To see food from way up here.

- I sure do.

When I see food...

- You go fast and catch it!

- That's right, nick!

- Come and get it!

- Yummy, spaghetti...

- And meatballs!

- Mmm. Let's go, guys!

- Well, aren't you clever!

Both: whee! Yahoo!

- You two are mighty fast
learners.

- We were as fast as a car.

Can we try and go even faster?

- Sure.

To go faster, you'll need
to make a steeper dive.

- You were almost as fast
as a peregrine falcon.

Try again. Whoa! Whoa!

- Fish! Got it.

Uh-oh!

- Catch him!

- Wow, I'm flying!

And so fast.

I really am the fastest fish
in the world!

- We're not fast enough!

- Pull in your wings more.

- Hang on!
- We're coming, fish!

- What a view.

I could fly like this forever.

I wonder how I stop.

Both: whoa!

- Nick and sally, you're as fast
as peregrine falcons!

Both: whoa!

- Phew.

- [Laughs]

- Fantastic, everybody!

[Both laughing]

- Thanks, nick.
Thank you, sally.

- We couldn't have saved fish

Without your diving lessons,
perry.

- You're both fast learners.

Come back any time.

You, too, cat.

Make sure you bring
that lunchbox of yours.

- Oh, I will.

[All laughing]

A peregrine falcon
is faster than fast.

Take him on in a race,
you'll always be last.

He dives from the sky
when hunting for dinner.

When perry's around,
there's only one winner.

[Laughter]

- It was neat
how perry hardly moved his wings

When he was looking for food.

- And how he pulled them
in so tight when he was diving.

- Yoo-hoo! Come and get it!

[Both laughing]

- Cookies!
- Mmm, yummy!

- Let's try one more dive.

[Both laughing]

Both: dive!

- Got it!

- Just like perry!

We go fast to catch food, too.

- Hey, wait for me!

[All laughing]

Both: mmm.

- Mmm. Mmm!

- Welcome to hat chat.

- Today, we're going
to interview dr. Twiggles.

- Hello!

- Those are pretty flowers,

But I thought
you were a tree doctor.

- Oh, I am.

Both trees and flowers
are types of plants.

I take care of them all.

- Even this strange-looking
tree?

- Oh, especially that,
but it's not a tree.

That's actually a flower.

- But it's so huge!

- This flower is called
a titan arum.

It's one of the largest flowers
in the world.

- Um, it kind of stinks.

- Yup, it has that smell because
some kinds of bugs love it.

Those bugs follow the smell

And help to spread the titan's
seeds to help new ones grow.

- Thank you for showing us
all about this neat plant,

Dr. Twiggles.

- You're welcome!
