- [Shivering]

- You moved, sally.

- Not much!

- [Sniffing]
ah, ah...

- I saw you move, nick.

- Ah-choo!

- Yay, I win!

- I couldn't help it.
It's cold out here.

- I'm the champion statue.

- No, I am.

- There's only one prize-winning
statue in this backyard.

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

- The cat on the hat
with the freezing knees.

[Shivers]

Isn't it a little cold
for a standing-still game?

- Maybe, but it's fun.

- Watch me win this time.

- [Shivers]

We need a little heat.

Lucky I brought
my hotter-me-upper.

Ready?

Go!

[Metal rattles, creaks]
oh, my.

Maybe the wheel-wuzzer's broken.

- I wish there was
some other way to keep warm

So we can stay out
when it's cold.

- Then you need to meet
lars the lemming.

He knows all about how to
get through the winter

In a chilly place.

- What's a lemming?

- Come
to the wundra-bundra-tundra

And see for yourselves,

Your mother will not mind at all
if you do.

- [Laughing]

Mom, can we go to see
lars the lemming

In the wundra-bundra-tundra?

- [Laughs]

Lars the lemming
in the wundra-bundra-tundra?

Sure, honey.
I hope you get a warm welcome.

- We will!
Thanks, mom.

[Laughs]
both: we can go! We can go!

- I know! I know!

To the thinga-ma-jigger!

- I never get cold
when I go outside in the winter.

- Why is that, fish?

- Because I don't go outside.

I stay in my bowl.
[Both laugh]

- What a shame there isn't room
for all of us in there.

Buckle up.

[Horn honks]

- Welcome to
the wundra-bundra-tundra.

Does anyone see lars?

- Well, are lemmings big?

- Lemmings, big?

No, no, not at all.

Most lemmings
I know are really quite small.

- Maybe we should shrink down
to lemming size.

- Great idea!
Press the shrinkamadoodle!

Oh, lars, hello?

- I'm in the burrow.
- [Laughs]

- Huh? What's a burrow?

- A burrow's a home
in a hole in the ground.

Aha! The front door.

Lars, meet my friends
nick and sally.

- Hi!
Both: hello!

- Make yourselves at home,
but it's going to be a squeeze.

[Laughs]
- sorry about this.

We're doing
some home improvements.

- I'll be with you in a minute.

I just need to put more moss
in this ceiling.

- I'm liv.

These are our children:

Inger, ingrid, ingvil, erik...
[All cooing]

Oh...uh, oh, emil, hans, heda.

- Hi there!
- [Munching]

- And who is this
eating my hat?

Both: aw.

- Oh, we haven't picked
names for the babies yet.

- Do you all live here?

- When it gets cold, we do.

- This burrow is nice and warm.

- Well, thanks to
all the hard work I do

Lining it with moss
to keep the heat in.

I'd like to stay and talk more,
but I have to go out.

- You mean you don't stay
in your burrow all winter?

- Like a bear or a squirrel?
- [Laughs]

I'd love to sleep all winter
long like those animals,

But we've got to find food
to eat.

- We'd like some tips about

How to stay warm
in a cold place like this.

- Follow me.
Watch and learn.

[Both laugh]
- aren't they adorable?

- [Sniffing]
[wind blowing]

- [Shivers]

It's cold now that we're not
in the burrow anymore.

- This isn't cold.

- It is for us.

My hands are freezing.

- My footsies too.
[Groans]

- If we were
more lemming-shaped,

Maybe we'd be warmer?

- Even better,
grow thick fur like me.

- Leave it to me.

Feeling ice-cold from your head
to your shoe?

Then you need some help
from thing one and thing two.

[Whistles]

Both: hello!
[Both grunting]

[Both jabbering]

- [Shouts]

Yahoo!
- Yay!

Both: ta-da!

- For the furriest of fur,

You need the fur-o-matic.

- [Jabbering]

- Ta-da!
[Children laugh]

- [Laughing]

- All right.
[Both laughing]

- Can we try?

- Why, of course.
- [Laughs]

I feel warmer already.
- [Gasps]

Wow, we've got fur
just like lars.

- [Laughs]
- what about you, cat?

- No, no, not for me.

I'm very attached to my own fur.

- [Sniffing]
- hey, lars, wait for us!

- Could be some food under here.

- What sort of food?

- Something tasty.

Moss, seeds, leaves.

Let's take a look.

- I bet that's really cold.

- Even with lemming fur.

- There's only one way
to find out.

[Grunts]
[both laugh]

[Both grunting]

- Did you find anything?
- No.

It's hard for us
to stay under the snow

For as long as you.

- I could spend all winter
there.

- It kind of felt warm
under the snow.

- You're right.

When it gets really cold,

The warmest place
to be is under the snow.

- I always thought it would be
colder under the snow.

- It's not.

That's an old lemming trick
to get through the winter.

- Like having a blanket
made of snow!

- [Humming]
- huh?

Cat!
[Clang]

- Ouch!
[Gasps]

Moss!
[Birds tweeting]

I found moss.

- [Giggles]

- Hey, that's not
very neighborly.

- Let's look over here.

[Lemmings chattering]

- I see some leaves.

- I see a lot of lemmings.

- Hey, we saw it first.

- [Gasps]
over here!

Hey, not fair.

- Did you find something to eat?

- No, it's all gone.

- There are so many
other lemmings

Looking for food around here.

- Hmm. Lemmings.

Lemmings everywhere,
and not a bite to eat.

- Hmm. You're right.

- I am?
- You know what this means?

It's moving day!

- [Gasps]
moving day!

[Lemming children chattering]

- [Laughs]
let's go!

- But where--
where are you all going to?

- We'll find out
when we get there.

- Look, all the lemmings
are leaving.

- They're all going
in different directions.

What's happening, cat?

- Let's follow lars
and find out.

To the thinga-ma-jigger!

Let's go.

- Are you going to stay here,
lars?

- It looks like
you've got plenty to eat here.

- Want to know
the number one rule

For getting through
a long, cold winter?

- Yeah, tell us.
- Go where the food is!

You can't last long without it.

- Lars, honey,
we've got more babies!

[Lemming babies squeaking]

- [Chuckling]

- Aw, lemmings need more to eat

Because
there's always more lemmings.

- Thanks for telling us
how to keep warm

Through the winter, lars.

- You're welcome.
- Good-bye.

- Bye.
- Bye.

- Bye-bye now.
[Lemming babies squeaking]

- You want to stay warm,
take some lemming advice.

A fur coat keeps them cozy
in frost and in ice.

His moss-lined burrow
stays snug in the snow,

And when he runs out of food,
watch him...

All: go, go, and go!

- We turned the tree house
into our lemming burrow.

What do you think, cat?

- It's the first one
I've ever seen in a tree,

And it's toasty warm.

Mm.

- We don't have our lemming fur
anymore,

But we are wearing two coats
each.

- Isn't that grand?

Now we can play statues
as long as we like.

Hmm. Ah.

- Sally, nick, I made hot
chocolate with marshmallows.

[Both gasp]
come and get it!

Both: yay!

- You moved!

- Remember what lars said,

The most important lemming rule
for living in a cold place...

- Go to where the food is.

- Hot chocolate!
- And marshmallows, yeah!

- [Laughs]

I'm always
near where the food is.

[Laughs, slurps]

Mmm.

- Hi, kids!

Today, I have
a very hard question for you.

What type of bear is
the biggest in the whole world?

Is it a black bear,
or is it a polar bear,

Or is it a teddy bear?

So which bear is the biggest
in the world?

[Polar bear growls]

If you said "the polar bear,"
that's right!

Polar bears are the largest
of all the bears.

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.

[Camera shutter snaps]

- Take a guess!

- Wow, it looks like jewels.

Did you find
a pirate's treasure?

- [Laughs]
- oh, it looks like sand.

- You're right, nick.

- But what were all those jewels
I saw?

- Those weren't jewels.

They're really tiny pieces
of rock and shells.

That's what sand is made of.

- That's so cool, sally!

[Both laugh]

[Both panting, laughing]

Can't catch me, sally!

- Can too, nick!

[Both laughing]

- Huh?

- [Laughs]
tag, you're it!

- It?
Both: huh?

- Ha!
If anyone's it, it's me!

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

- [Laughs]

You run,
and I'll try to catch you.

- Okay, but I need a rest first.

- Me too.

We ran so fast,
my chest is thumping.

- Let's see.
[Heartbeat thumping]

Hmm.

That thumpety-thump
is your heart boom-boom-booming!

- But why is it booming so fast?

- I don't know,
but I do know someone who does.

- [Gasps]

- Dr. Giggles,
my very own doctor.

He knows all about our insides.

- Let's go visit him!

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

- [Laughs]

Mom, can we go
with the cat in the hat

To find about
boom-boom-y hearts?

- Find out
about boom-boom-y hearts?

[Laughs]
well, I would go in a heartbeat.

Okay, honey.
- Thanks, mom!

Both: we can go!
We can go!

- I know! I know!

To the thinga-ma-jigger!

Buckle up.

- Welcome to dr. Giggles' house.

- I hope the doctor is in.

- [Laughing]
- huh?

- Sure sounds like it.

- [Laughing]

- Meet dr. Giggles.

Both: hello!
- Hello.

- Ah, the old tickle test.

- What's the test for?
- Fun!

[Both laugh]

- What can I do for you?

- We have a question
about our bodies.

- Why do our hearts boom-boom
when we run fast?

- To get to the heart
of this matter,

You'll have to listen closely
to your hearts.

[Laughter]

- Listening to your heart
through a tube

Lets you hear better.

- I prefer to use this.

It's called a stethoscope.

[Heartbeat thumping]

[Laughs]

[Heartbeat thumping]
- wow.

This stethoscope makes
your heart sound loud and clear.

- Don't you love
that lub-dubby sound?

- Oh, I do. I do.

It's the sound
of a healthy heart pumping.

- Our hearts are pumps?

- The pumpiest pumpers
that ever pumped!

- Why not go see for yourself?

- You mean
go inside someone's body?

- Not someone--something.

When you want to explore
inside bodies like you,

Whistle real loud
for thing one and thing two!

[Whistles]
[both jabbering]

Both: hello!
- Who wants to volunteer!

- Ooh!
- Me, me, me, me! Me, me!

- Hmm.

Lub-dub, lub-dub,
two hearts will not do.

We have to choose one,
and that means you.

- Yay!
- Aw.

- Oh, never mind, you can help
thing two get ready.

- Yay!
- Let's go, go, go!

To the thinga-ma-jigger!

- I can't believe we're going
inside thing two's body.

- [Laughs]

- We'll need
to shrink real small.

Press the super-duper
shrinkamadoodle.

- [Laughs]

- [Laughs]

- And we'll need
the subber-e-blubber

On this incredible journey,
nick.

- [Laughs]

- Now you're ready to go
inside thing two.

[Laughs]
- pull the whizzer-ma-fizzer.

- Cool!

Whoa!

Both: wow!
- We're inside thing two!

- In some kind of tube!

- Our bodies are full of tubes,
big and small.

- Where does this one go?

- We're about to find out.

All: whee!

- [Chuckling]

- [Jabbers]

[Both exclaiming]

- What's this red stuff
we're floating in?

- Beautiful blood.

Both: blood?
- Sure.

Blood's very important
inside your body.

- [Laughs]

And if you cut your finger,

A little can come
outside your body too.

Both: hi, dr. Giggles.

- I'm watching you
on my scana-ma-jammer.

You're this dot right here.
[Laughs]

[Heartbeat thumping]

- That lub-dubby sound's
getting louder and louder.

- This blood must be whooshing
closer to thing two's heart.

- The most exciting part
of our ride.

- Here we go!
Into the heart!

Hold on tight!

All: yahoo!

Whee!
[Laughter]

- Riding through a heart
is awesome.

- [Laughs]

You're leaving the heart now,

But your ride is not done.

[Laughs]

[All cheer]

[Whooshing]

- Where are we now?

- And what's that
whoosh-y noise?

- It sounds like
someone breathing.

- It is!

You are near thing two's lungs,

Which can fill up with air
like two big balloons!

- Look,
the blood's changing color!

- [Laughs]

When it goes past your lungs,
red blood

Fills up with air for your body
to use from tip to toe.

- So every part of you
gets a breath of fresh air.

All: whee!

Wahoo!

- Hey, we're back in the heart
again!

- One side of your heart
pumps blood to your lungs,

And the other side pumps it
all around your...

[Shouting]
body!

[Children cheer]

- That was amazing.

- Can we go again?
- Again?

- [Laughs]
you can't help it.

Your heart never stops pumping
blood around your body.

It goes round every minute.

- Hold on to your hats!

- Yeah!
All: yahoo!

[Valve thumps]
- hey.

That flappy-flap
made a lub sound when it opened.

[All cheer]
[valve thumps]

- And a dub sound
when it closed.

- Ooh-hoo!

Those flaps are like doors

That open and close

To keep blood moving forward,
not backward.

[All cheer]

- So the lub-dub sound
our hearts make...

Both: is flappy-flaps opening
and closing.

- Hi. Hi. Hi there.
[Howls]

- Why are you howling?
- I know.

There's a full moon, and wolves
howl at the moon, right?

- Oh, no. It's just a myth.
- A myth?

- Yeah, like a story.

Sometimes people think
we howl at the moon,

But it's not really true.

- Then why did you howl?

- Oh, I was just letting my mom
know where I was.

That's how we wolves talk
to each other.

- Whoa.
Um, you're moving around a lot.

- [Laughs]
we wolf cubs play a lot.

It helps to teach us things

We'll need to know
for when we get bigger.

- Oh, I get it.

You're pretending

So you'll know

The cat in the hat
thinks it's time for a treat.

Let's have a look
at the veggies we eat.

[Both jabbering]

- Yay, okay!
- Oh, yippee!

- Veggies grow differently--
that's what I've found.

Root vegetables
grow down under the ground.

Like carrots and radishes,
potatoes, a beet--

The best parts to eat
grow under our feet.

- Oh.
- Whoa.

- On the ground, you'll find
leafy ones, growing in rows.

Like lettuce, of course,
which everyone knows.

And there's cabbage,
and cauliflower, broccoli too.

The sun and the rain
make them healthy for you.

And beans hang on bushes.
And here's something odd.

The peas that we eat
grow inside of a pod.

There are many more vegetables,
all of them yummy.

They wait on your plate
on the way to your tummy.

- Hi, everybody.

Today's very difficult question
is about a red-eyed tree frog...

- [Croaks]
- just like this one.

Ready?

What do red-eyed tree frogs eat?
[Fly buzzing]

- [Slurps]

[Munches, gulps]

Mmm, delicious.

- [Gasps]

Did I hear some of you say
"flies" or "bugs"?

You're right!

You got it this time,

But next time,
I'll stump you for sure!
