This'll be the
best surprise lunch

Mom's ever had -
right Sally?

Yeah,
Nick!

Hi kids!

Huh!

Have you ever seen
a prettier petunia?

Er, what's up with
the bowl, Nick?

We're...
um... spacemen?

Right!

We're...uh...
looking for aliens!

[laughs]
Well if you see any,

tell them to take a look
at my beautiful petunia!

Phew!

That was close!

We better finish this salad

before she comes

back! Quick hand
me another bowl!

Seen any aliens around here?

It's the Cat!

The Cat in the Hat!

Ooo... is that
a salad you're making?

It's a surprise lunch for Nick's mom.

Oh, but she could come
back at any minute.

I wish we knew when
she was coming!

My friend Twitch the rabbit

always knows when
someone's coming!

Really?
Maybe Twitch can help us!

Then let's go to
Scaddidle-Daddle-Dale

to find her.

Your mother will not
mind at all if you do.

Mom! Can we visit
Twitch the rabbit

in Scaddidle-Daddle Dale?

Scaddidle-Daddle Dale?
[GIGGLE]

Sure, but hop
back before lunch!

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

I know!
I know!

To the Thinga-ma-jigger!

Buckle up!

Oh! Oh!
I think I see Twitch!

Over there!

Yup!
That's her!

Yahoo!

Yippee!

Hey! She jumped
into that hole.

Let's go after her!

But we're too big
to fit in that hole!

Not for long...

Press the shrinkamadoodle!



That's more like it.

Follow me...

[giggles]



Yoouu-heeee!

Any 'bunny' home?

I'm right here!

Aaaggghhh!

Twitch!
So "hoppy" to see you!

Hello Cat! Oh,
I'm glad it's you.

I was scared for a moment...

These are my friends,
Nick and Sally.

Hi Twitch!Hi Twitch!

Hello! And welcome
to the warren -

that's my bunny home.

A warren?
Neat-o!

[Laugh]

[GASP]
Did you hear that?

I don't hear anything?

Do you Cat?

Not a tweet,
nor a twitter!



Fox!

Hide!



Hey!



Oh me, oh my,
where should I hide?



Excuse me,
but did you see my

lunch hop by?

You know,
[SLURPS]

long tasty ears,

ho ho ho ho.. deliciously
fluffy tail...

It went thatta way!



Um...
thanks?



Did that fox really
want to eat Twitch?

Some animals,
like rabbits,

eat a nice grassy patch.

Other animals,
like the fox,

eat food that
they catch!

They're predators!

That's why I have to be good
at watching out for foxes

and other hunters!

I like to eat lunch,
not be lunch!

Did someone say lunch?

Yippy!
I'm hungry!

Me too!

Me too!

Me too!

Whoa!
There's more of you?

Us bunnies love big families!

C'mon out my
lil' cotton balls,

the fox has gone.

Awwww.
Look how cute they are!

This is Milly,
Willy, Jilly and...

Wait! Wait!
Let me guess!

Billy?

No... Bartholamew
Winston The Third.

Pleased to meet you.

We're heading
out for a nibble.

Would you like to join us?

Won't that be tricky
with the fox around?

Yes,
it can be dangerous.

But we know
how to spot trouble

before it spots us!

I wish we knew
how to do that!

We can show you!

What do we do to
avoid danger, kits?

Look hard - to see if
anything is moving!

Listen carefully -
for sounds that mean

something's coming!

Sniff, sniff, sniff!

To see if you can smell
any other animals nearby!

[sniff, sniff, sniff]

[laughing]

And when trouble comes,

what do we do
to warn the others?

Sound the honkermahooter!

Honk!
[Laughs]

I know what to do!

We... Thump!
Thump! Thump! Thump!

Thank you Bartholamew.

Bartholamew!

BARTHOLAMEW WINSTON THE THIRD!

[Laughs]

Got that?

Yeah!Cool!

Good!
Now time to go!

Forward -
hop!

Mama! Mama!
Listen!

[RAT-A-TAT-TAT!]

Oh!
I hear something too!

[Gasp]
Is it the fox?

Fox?
Hide!

Quick hide in here!



[Laughs]

[RAT-A-TAT-TAT]

Hold your whiskers,

it doesn't sound like a fox.



[RAT-A-TAT-TAT]

The sound's coming
from up there!

[giggles]
It's a woodpecker!

Pecking for beetles,
not rabbits!

Behold!

As I pull not one,

not two,

but FOUR rabbits
out of my hat!

[Laughs]

Okay everybunny.

Let's keep going!

Hmmm...
[panting]

Wait!

That sounds like a fox.

[Sniffs]

It smells like a fox!



I see it!
It IS a fox!

We've got to

With my honkermahooter!

Honk!

[Laugh]
No Cat -

with the bunny alarm!

[thumping]

Listen!
The thump alarm!

Hide!

Looks like the bunnies
got our warning!

Just in time!
The Fox is getting closer!

Oh, we'll be quite safe
behind these rocks.

Things One and Two can
take care of that fox!

[whistles]



[sniff]
Eesh.

Nothing but grass,
grass, grass!

Yoo hoo!
Yoo hoo hee hoo!



Woo hoo!
Yee hee hee!



Woo hoo!



Yee hee hee!



Yoo hoo!

Yoo hoo!



[panting]
Ah, forget it.

I'm not that hungry anyways.

Yoo hoo!



Let's hear a big hoppy cheer

Any sign of mom yet?

I don't see her...

hear her...

[sniffs]
or smell her!

I'll keep watch!

This'll be great.

Nearly finished.

[drumming]

Oh,
that's the alarm!

Mom's coming!

Got my signal?

Yep,
just in time!

Did I hear drumming?

Surprise!

We made you lunch!

[Gasp] Aww,
thank you so much!

But how did you
ever do all this

without me seeing you?

We did what the rabbits do!

We sniffed,

looked,
listened...

And thumped!

[laughs] Then you both
deserve a bunny treat.

[CRUNCH]

[laugh]



[Sighs]

[Laughing]
Nick!

I can't believe you
lost your yo-yo AGAIN!

It's not lost, Sally -

I just don't
know where it is!

You should put it in the
same place each time.

I try - but then
I can never remember

which place that is!

Oh,
maybe in here?

Ta da!

It's the Cat!

The Cat In The Hat!

Your yo-yo isn't in there!

Or in here!

You know what we need!?

A new yo-yo!

No...we need to go to the
Wobble Bobble Woods

to see my friend Bucky!

He's a red squirrel.

He's very good
at hiding things!

But more importantly -
he's good at finding them again!

Let's go see
Bucky right now!

Your mother will not
mind at all if you do!

Mom! Can Sally and I go to
the Wobble Bobble Woods

to talk to Bucky
the red Squirrel?

The Wobble Bobble Woods?
Sure! [laugh]

But don't fall out of
any wobbly bobbly trees!

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

I know!
I know!

To the Thingamajigger!

Buckle up!

Here we are - the
Wobble Bobble Woods.

Cool!

We may be a little large
for visiting a squirrel.

Press the Shrinkamadoodle!

[Laughs]



I'd recognize
his tree anywhere.

Aha -
here's his nest.

[humming]
[knocking]

Wow -
look at all the acorns!

Didn't you know?

They're Bucky's
favourite food.

Guess he's not home.

Helloooooooooo...

Bucky!

Buuuuuuuckyyyyyyy!

Cat in the Hat!

Hello!

Pleased to meet you,
Bucky. I'm Sally.

And I'm Nick.

Fish!
How do you do?

Hello!

[laughing]

We're here to take hiding

and finding
lessons from you!

Hiding and finding lessons?

You've come to the
right squirrel!

No one does it better!

Follow me!



Whoah!

Squirrels are so fast!



Ready to do some hiding?

You bet!

What are we hiding?

Acorns of course!

Can't you keep
them in your nest?

There's not enough room.

I need a whole lot more
to get me through winter,

so I need to find
plenty of hiding places.

Uh-oh!

What's wrong?

I see Chucky!

Who's Chucky?

Another squirrel.

He's kind of...
naughty.

[giggle]

He didn't see us!

Chucky likes to,
shall we say,

"help himself"
to Bucky's food!

So, I have to hide my acorns
where he can't find them!

We'll help you!

Looks like there's LOTS of
hiding places around here.

Okay! Why don't
you give it a try!

Sure,
Okay!

Yeah!

[Gasp]
Yes!

This is a good spot!

I'm going to hide mine...

Here!

Hmmmm...



[YAWN]

Hmmm...

Ouch!

Hmmm...

Aha!

I have an idea for the
perfect hiding place.



Chucky will never think
of looking under here!

Shhh.
Here he comes!

Hi Bucky!

Hiding acorns
again I see!

[humming]

I see you have
help this time.

You'll never find them!

We found some great
hiding places.

Think so huh?

[Sniff...Sniff]

Ooohh - I smell
something tasty!

Ooohh,
yeah!

Hey!

Finders keepers!

[sniff sniff]

hhhhh...
[laughs]...Yum!

That's mine!

Hmmm...uh...I don't
see your name on it!

[sniffing]

[laughs]
Aha!

[giggle]

Hey!

Thanks for
the snack, guys!

Uh-oh!

How did he find them?

I saw him sniffing like this.

[Sniff Sniff]

I get it!

He could smell the acorns.

That's how
he found them!

Exactly!

If we are going
to b*at Chucky,

we need to
bury the acorns.

He can't smell them if
they're buried underground.

Cool.

We'll dig the deepest hole

that's ever been dug and...

I have a steam-shovel...

Somewhere...

Not just one hole.

We have to dig lots.

But why?

If we put all the acorns
in the same place,

Chucky,
or some other animal,

could find them
all at once!



Delicious!

[burp]

We can't hide
any more acorns

with Chucky watching us.

What can we do?

We'll distract him!

How?

We need a commotion,
a big ballyhoo -

Who better to help than
Thing One and Thing Two!

[WHISTLES]



Oooh - magic!
I love magic.

Welcome to the Cat with
the magic hat show!

Yahoo!

ooh...ohhh...

[cheering]

Thank you.
Thank you.

Mwah,
mwah.

You're a wonderful audience.

You will see that
my hat is empty.

But what's this?

Ta da!

Wow-weee...

It's working!

Chucky's too busy
watching the show.

Let's get hiding!

Follow what I do!

First we need to
find a good spot.

It has to be near stuff that
will help us remember

where we buried them.

How about next
to this tree?

Good choice,
Nick.

Right by this birch tree,

and across from
that sharp edged rock.

[digging efforts]

Wow!
You dig really fast!

Well, we have a lot
of acorns to bury.

Now you need a marker.

Ahh,
this will do nicely.

There!

The pebble is a
little reminder too.

Let me have a turn!

Let's find another good
spot for the next one.



Great choice,
Nick.

Next to a prickly bush.

And a big smooth stone.

And this twig
is my reminder.

Good job,
Nick.

Follow me,
Sally,

and we'll find
a spot for you.



Uhhhh....
What about here?

Next to this old tree stump
across from that old oak tree?

Perfect.
Your turn to dig.

TADAAAAAAAA!

[laughs]

And for my next trick...

the disappearing acorn!

Ooohhhh!



Allakazzooo,
Wazzakazzam!

Whoa!

Where did it go?

[cheering]

Phew!

This pine-cone
is my reminder.

Nice work,
Sally.

Phew!
We're done!

Did we manage to bury
every single acorn, Bucky?

Every last one,
Nick.

What a team!

[Whistle]

[laugh]
You are too kind!

Mwah!
Mwah!

No really.

Hey, hey,
where'd it go!

[whistling,
humming]

Hey,
I get it.

You tricked me so
I didn't see where

Bucky and his friends
buried his acorns!

You're right,
Chucky.

You won't find the
acorns this time.

[Sniffing]
I can't smell them!

Where have you hidden them?

All safe from you Chucky!

You and your friends
b*at me this time Bucky.

You could always go and
find your own acorns!

Hey, why didn't I
think of that before?

I'll go and find
some right away.

Yay!

Thanks for
your help, guys!

No problem.

And you can find
them all again

with the markers
we made.

The little reminders...

Like the pine
cone... by the stump,

..next to the old oak tree.

And the twig next
to the prickly bush,

..and the big smooth stone.

You guys are
fast learners.

That's what I need.

A reminder so I
can find my yo-yo.

Go back and look.

I bet you'll
find a reminder!

I will!

Bye everyone!

Thanks Bucky!

Good-bye!

So that's the big secret
of hiding and finding,

when something is lost,

you just need reminding.



You two don't need magic.

All you have to do is
think like a squirrel!

[giggles]

Look for reminders
like Bucky does...

but...uh...hmmm...

there's no rocks,
or trees,

or stumps in here!

I kind of remember standing
next to the TV

when I put my yo-yo away...

I found it!

Yay!

[laughing]
