OOOF!

Just about Sally.

Now remember to keep your
head tucked in next time.

Somersaults are
hard to do, Mom.

Try again in a minute.

Okay, Nick,
go ahead.

Here I go.

Tuck your head
into your chest.

And use your hands to roll
oh-verrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Oof...Whoa...ooff

Just about Nick,
nice work.

Both of you need a
little bit more practice!

I'm gonna fix us
some lunch now.

We'll try more
somersaults later.

AWWWWWWWWW.

[chuckling] I'll
be right back.

I can't wait that long
to do somersaults.

Did someone say somersaults?
[laughs]

It's the Cat.

The Cat in the Hat!

I know how to do double
flippy flop-overs.

And triple whammy hops.

[Giggles]

We want to do somersaults.

You know -
roly-polys.

Somersaults?
Roly-polys?

Hmm,
they're not easy.

Sally's mom says we
need more practice.

We could use some help.

Hmm...I know an
expert somersaulter.

The king of the roly-polys.

[Gasp]
You do?

It's Luis, the three banded
Armadillo from Bossa Nossa!

An Armadillo?

Can we meet him?

Your mother will not
mind at all if you do.

Mom!

Can we go with the Cat to
meet Luis the Armadillo?

He's the king of roly-polys.

Luis the Armadillo?

Well don't forget to roll
back for lunch afterwards.

Thanks,
Mom.

[laughs]

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

I know!
I know!

To the Thinga-ma-jigger!

Watch me!
Watch me!

This is my fish flip.

Yack a poe.

Hey.
Where's everyone gone?

Welcome to Bossa Nossa!

Luis lives down there?

Sure does.

[laughs]

Hey guys wait up!

I think I got it this time.

[effort noise]

Uh.

Okay,
I'm still working on it.

Oh Luis!

Luis!

Yo-ho!

Anyone seen a
three-banded armadillo?

Why is Luis called a
'three banded' armadillo?

Well, because he has three
stripy bands on his back.

Bands like the red
stripes on my hat.

See?
, , .

[laughs] Keep those
peepy eyes peeled.

I know Luis is around
here somewhere.

[laughs]

♪

Hi Cat,
old buddy!

Aghhhhh!

[chuckle]
Did I make you jump?

Ahhh!
LUIS!

You nearly blew
my whiskers off.

You're Luis!

The three banded armadillo.

That's me! [laugh]
Three-banded Luis.

Count 'em.

, , .

Neat aren't they?

Some armadillos have nine
but I'm a little guy.

Three suits me just fine.

They help you roll
into a ball right?

Couldn't do it without 'em.

We're not very good at rolling
into a ball for Somersaults.

Can you show us how you do it?

I'd sure love to but....

Come on Luis,
don't be shy.

Me?
Shy? I...

Take a seat everyone,
the show is about to begin.

Hooray!

Uh..Cat,
I need a word.

LUIS...LUIS...LUIS!

Ladies and gentlemen,
I present the incredible,

the amazing,
the splendiferous,

....Luis!

Huh?

Cat!
- Yes?

I've been trying to tell you.

I can't roll into a
ball just like that.

You can't?

No, no.

I only roll into a ball
when I get surprised.

You mean like this.

BOOO!

Nearly.
Not bad,

but you're gonna
have to do better than that.

Are you sure?

Our moms say making someone
jump isn't a nice thing to do.

That's true with most animals.

You don't want to scare them.

But you're talking
to Luis here.

Armadillos are tough.

Check out my shell.

Go ahead.
Give it a knock.

[knocks]

Wow!
It's really hard!

[knocks]

Yeah!

Keeps me safe from all
those knocks and bumps.

[gasp] It's like
a knight's armour!

Seems like Luis
is tough enough

to take our
biggest surprises.

Let's go team.

Give it your best sh*t!

SURPRISE!

Not even close.

[squeak]

Saw you coming!

[Giggle]

Help.Oh no!

Aagh!

Nice try!

You nearly did it that time.

Well, we've tried all my
favourite surprise ideas.

What else could possibly
make Luis roll into a ball?

WAIT! I KNOW.
I KNOW!

What is it Cat?

Tell us.

If I told you it wouldn't
be a surprise, now would it?

[laughs] Back in two
shakes of a cat's tail.

[laughs]

♪

What is he doing?

I'd really like to show you
guys how to roll

but unless you surprise me....

Huh?
What was that?

[gasp]
It looks like a big bird!

A B-B-BIG BIRD?

I don't wanna be a
big bird's lunch!

I'M OUTTA HERE!

[rolling sounds]

He did it!
He rolled into a ball!

Hooray!

That's not a bird.

Where's Luis going?

I wanted to surprise
him with this.

A big beautiful kite.

Luis thought it
was a big bird.

It does look like a big bird.

[Gasp]
Oh my.

I only meant to surprise him,

not f-fr-frighten him.

Oh, we have to find
him and say sorry.

You're absolutely right,
Sally, come on!

♪

[rolling sounds]

STOP
LUIS!WAIT!

I hope Luis doesn't get hurt.

His armor will protect him!

Wow, look at that
Armadillo go!

He sure is a fast runner.

I'm...
[pant]

right behind you,
[pant]... no problem!

♪

Look! Those bubbles must
be coming from Luis.

Yeah.
He's even running underwater!

Like an Armadillo submarine!

Let's find a way across.

Where'd he go?

HEY!
STOP!

Hello!

Who is it?

It's only us,
Luis.

A BIG BIRD!
A BIG BIRD!

NO.
NO. No, no.

LUIS, Luis
it's not a bird.

Look.
See?

It's not real.

[chuckles] You really did
surprise me that time, Cat.

I'm sorry,
Luis.

I forgot how much
you hate birds.

Not so much I hate birds.

More like birds like
me ...for lunch.

You mean birds eat Armadillos?

Some of the large ones do.

That's why I
rolled into a ball.

Keeps me outta trouble.

Well, you certainly
surprised us, Luis.

By how fast you can run...

Even underwater..

And how good you
are at digging!

But most of all...

You're the best
somersaulter ever.

How do you do it?

It's easy. I just scrunch
my body together,

tuck in my head,
and go with the roll!

Oh.
Cool I get it!

How about some salad with
crunchy bugs to say sorry?

Yum!
My favourite food!

You're forgiven Cat!

[munching noise]

Oh, that reminds me.
Mom is making us lunch...

we'd better get home.

Oh yeah,
bye Luis.

Thanks for teaching
us how to somersault!

[Chewing then swallow noise]
Bye!

♪

So now we know the
secret of the somersault:

The rule is the same in the
backyard or fish-bowl -

Hold in your head
and go with the...

ROLL!

Watch me!
Watch me!

Yay!

Way to go!

I did it.
I did it!

[Laughs]

[rolling efforts]
Yay!

WOW! You really
are fast learners!

We had great teachers!
You....

...and Luis the
three-banded Armadillo!

Well, I'm certainly
in good company.

Now, I have a
surprise for you.

[Gasp]
You do?

What is it?

This is for completing your
first ever somersault.

You're on my roll

Wow!
Thank you!

Awesome!

Follow me Sally!

We have to go 'round
this mountain.

What about that bear?

Oh, he doesn't look
friendly at all!

This way!

♪

Yes! We're home,
we made it!

Wah-hoo!
That was fun!

And pretty scary.

It's only a game,
Sally.

But what would happen if
we really did got lost?

What would we do?

Hey, who turned
out the lights?

Where am I?

It's the Cat!

The Cat in the Hat!

Ahh!
Lucky you found me.

I must have taken
a wrong turn.

I got myself lost in there.

We were playing at
being lost too, Cat.

Sally was scared.

Is it scary when you
are lost for real?

Not if you know what to do.

And I know someone who knows
all about getting lost

AND found again.

You do?

He's a wolf pup
called Grayson.

A Wolf!

He lives in the
Hooty-Howly-Woods.

If we visit he'll
show us what to do.

Your mother will not
mind at all if you do!

Mom!

MOO-OOOM!

Can we go with the Cat
to the Hooty-Howly-Woods

to meet a wolf
named Grayson?

The Hooty-Howly-Woods?

Just don't be too long.
I'm baking cookies,

which I know you and Nick
will wolf down!

Yay!
Thanks, Mom!

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

I know!
I know!

To the Thingamajigger!

Not the Hooty Howly Woods!

You always get lost there Cat.

Every tree looks the same.

Don't worry,

Grayson!

Grayson!

[WOLFISH SNIFFS]

The Cat in the hat!

Ooh awoo, these must be
your friends, huh huh?

Hi,
I'm Sally.

And I'm Nick.

We were hoping
you can help us.

What do you do when you
get lost in a really,

really huge forest?

How do you find your way home?

Easy!
Uh huh Uh huh.

I get lost all the time
- like now.

You're lost right now?

No idea where I am.

Mom says: "You must
not run off and forget

your way back to the pack."

But sometimes,
I just can't help it.

So a wolf pack
is like a family.

It would be great
to meet them all.

Okay,
let's go find them!

How do we do that?

The three wolf rules are:
use your eyes;

use you nose;
use your ears.

Let's try it.

Eyes first.

♪

I can't see anything.

Neither can I.

It's hard to see
with all these trees.

Lucky I brought my see-round
-the-trees glasses along.

Ouch!

Who put that tree there?

[giggle]

[climbing efforts]

Why did you bring us
all the way up here?

Whew!

Ohhh.
We're above the trees.

Whoa! You can see all of the
Hooty-Howly-Woods

from up here.

We're sure to see your
pack now, Grayson.

Hmmm.

Nope.
No sign of them.

Oooh, Big Hill
[panting] ...

Let me know next time,
woncha, [pant]

and I'll bring
my climbing boots.

What should we do Cat?

Grayson can't see his pack
even when he's way up here!

And it's too dark
now to see anything!

You need a light that's
as bright as the sun?

That sounds like a job for
Thing Two and Thing One.

[whistles]

Hello!

♪

Ta-da!

Coooollll!

I think I might need these.

I don't see my pack anywhere.

Unh uh.

Not there,
not there, and

[WOOF]
not even over there.

[whistles]

[silly noises]

Hmmm.

Maybe we can try
your second way.

Okay!
Wolf rule number two:

use your nose!

[SNIFFS]

Try it!
Sniff like me!

Uh huh.
[SNIFFS]

[sniffing]

Can you smell wolf?

We don't know what
wolves smell like.

They smell like me.

Go on have a sniff...

[DEEP SNIFF]

Whoah!
That's strong.

And wolfy!

[DEEP SNIFF]
Sniff that smell!

And it'll lead us right
to Grayson's Mom and Dad!

You got it!

[sniffing]

I smell wolf...

[SNIFFS]

Awoo!

Here...!

[sniffing]

And here!

[sniffing]

And here!

Did you find Grayson's pack?

No. But I'm sure
I could smell wolf.

Maybe it was Grayson
you could smell.

Yeah. We've been to all the
places he's just been.

My you're clever!

Uh huh and you're
still lost. Humph!

Well sniffing didn't work.

Unh uh.

But there's wolf
rule number three!

Use our ears right?

You got it!

[cricket]

Did you hear that?
Huh huh?

I didn't hear anything.

You can hear things
way better than us!

If you want to hear
as good as a wolf,

you're going to need super
duper sound rebounders!

Just like Super-duper
wolf ears!

Whoah....
I hear it now!

Cool! I'm listening
like a wolf!

Woof!
This way!

Uh huh uh huh!

That sound is
getting louder...

It's only a cricket!

Hi Jimmy.

Hi!

How can something so teeny
weeny make such a loud noise?

I'm looking for my pack.

You haven't seen
them have you?

Un-uh.

Thanks Jimmy.

Wow.

Wolf ears are stronger
than I thought!

Guess the ears didn't
work either, unh unh.

We used our eyes and
our noses and our ears

and we still haven't
found your pack.

Isn't there anything
else you could do?

Well, there is
one last thing I do -

but only when
I'm in real trouble.

What is it?

I'll show you. Uh huh,
uh huh, here goes.

[DEEP BREATH THEN HOWL!]

That was LOUD!

You could hear
that far far away!

Wow!

Good huh?

Do it again.

[Howl]

Shhh.
Listen.

[howling]

Wow!
Did you hear that?

Is it your pack?

Sure is.

Yay!Hurray!

I need to keep howling so
they can follow the sound

and find where I am?
Want to help?

Sure!

Like this!

On a one, a two,
and a three:

HOWL!

The other howls
are getting louder.

Your pack must
be coming closer!

HOOWWWWWLLLLLLLL!

H-h-h-h-h-HOWWWWWW-WELLLLL!

Howl!

[responding]
Howl!

Over here, over here,
uh huh...uh huh!

Grayson!
There you are!

Hoowwwlll!

How many times have we
told you not to run off?

You always end
up getting lost!

Sorry Mom.
Sorry Dad.

Don't be too upset.

He was really good
at finding you!

He was?

Uh huh.
He showed us how to sniff.

To look...

And to listen.

But, best of all,
he showed us how to howl.

Now that the pack's
all together again,

time for a group
howl to celebrate!

[barks]
Group howl! Come on!

Ohhh!

You too!

If you're ever lost,
just act like a pup.

Use your nose,
eyes and ears to sniff,

look,
and listen up.

If that doesn't work,
don't whimper, don't yelp,

No, throw back your head
and howl "HELP"!
