There's your mom,
Nick.

Let's sneak up and
surprise her, Sally.

[GIGGLES]

I see you!

AWWWWW!

Don't feel bad.

Moms are very hard
to sneak up on!

I wish we were better
sneaker uppers.

Yeah!
Then we'd surprise my mom.

Who doesn't
love surprises!

Woah!
It's the cat!

The Cat in the Hat!

Hmm, how did you sneak
up on us like that?

Simple!
Under my hat I am a cat!

And all cats are
great sneaker uppers!

Can you show us how?

I could, but I
have a better idea.

I know some big cats whose
hunting skills make them

the best sneaker
uppers anywhere!

Wanna go meet them?
- Yeah!

Your mother will not
mind at all if you do.

♪ [Humming]

I see you!

We weren't sneaking
up on you this time.

But can we go learn how to
sneak up, with the

Cat in the Hat and his
big cat friends?

Sure!

Learning how to sneak
up from big cats sounds

purrrrrrrrrrrfect!
[laughs]

Thanks mom!

[giggles]

We can go!
We can go!

I know.
I know!

To the Thingamajigger!



Buckle up!

Welcome to Snowy
Blowy Mountains!

Home to a Snow
Leopard named Zappa.

He's a really cool cat!

Cool!

Are you ready
to find Zappa?

I-I'll stay here and
t-t-try to keep warm.

Hey...
- AHHHHHHHH!

Chill little buddy...
[soft laugh]

What's happening Cat?

[relieved laughter]

Hey everyone, meet Zappa,
the Snow Leopard!

Hi, Zappa.
I'm Nick.

I'm Sally.

You're a really
great sneaker upper!

Can you show us
how you do it

so we can sneak
up on my mom?

Oh,
be happy to.

That's if there was anything
around to sneak up on.

Like a blue sheep.

I so-o love sneaking
up on blue sheep.

Then how about I pretend
to be a blue sheep

in a game of Snowy
Blowy Play Hunting?

YAY!

G-r-o-o-v-y!

Baaa!
Baaa!

I'm a Blue Sheep.

How do you do?

I love to eat grass.

How about you?

[play eating sounds]

I sure hope no one's
trying to sneak up on me.

He'll see us!

Not if we chill
and stay still.

My grey fur and leopard
spots make me hard to spot.

Who said that?

[GIGGLES]

Let's sneak up closer!

Not yet.
Be cool.

I guess Nick and Sally
aren't in any rush to

sneak up on me.

♪ [TUM TEE TUM TEE TUM]

He's not looking!
Time to go.

Nice and slow!

GASP!

Ah ha!
Huh?

Hmmm.

♪ [TUM TEE TUM TEE TUM]

Good sneaker uppers
try not to make a sound.

That's easy for you with
those big furry feet!

♪ La da da di da.

Where is everybody?

Surprise!
- Oh, ho, ha!

I didn't see that coming!

You make great
sneaker uppers.

Ho ho yeah, we big
cats are the best.

You should meet my friend
Swifty the Cheetah.

Oh she's cool too.

Really?

Oh, funny you should
mention Swifty!

We're off to see
her right now.

Good bye!
- Thanks, Zappa.

Remember.

If you want to be great
sneaker uppers -

be still, be slow,
and be quiet!



Welcome to Zooma Booma,
home of Swifty the Cheetah.

Ahhhh.

This is more like it!

Where's Swifty?

I bet she's
sneaking up on us.

Woah!
Ah!

Could you believe that?

Well now there
goes Swifty.

Cheetahs are
built for speed!

Come on!

Wow,
you're fast!

Meet Swifty,
the Cheetah!

The fastest big
cat anywhere!

Are you a good
sneaker upper too?

[ Paw lick]
I don't sneak up.

I run so fast I catch them
before they know I'm there.

Wow!

I'd show you how but I
don't see anything to

chase right now.

Hmm,
ah ha!

I'm way ahead of you!

Why not chase ME?

Let's play Zooma
Booma play hunting!

Oh can we?
Can we please?

You're it!

Catch me if you can!
I bet you can't!

[giggles]
YAY!

Catch him Swifty!

Just watch me.

We'll never keep
up with Swifty.

Hmmm, what would the
Cat in the Hat do?

I know!

Whistle real loud for
Thing One and Thing Two!

[whistles]

Hello!



Wow look at her go!



Surprise!

You caught me!

You're so fast.

FAST AS A CHEETAH!

[panting] I'm fast, sure,
but I can only run that

fast for a short while.

After a run that fast I
always need a cat nap.

[Yawn]

If I swam that
fast I'd need a fish nap.

You're a great
hunter Swifty.

[Yawn]
My friends the lions

are pretty good hunters too.

Are they as fast as you?

No.

They do things a
whole lot differently.

You'll see.

[sleep noises]

Shhh.
- Bye!

Thanks Swifty.

Welcome to Bana
Bana Savanna!

Home to lions, the kings
and queens of big cats!



Welcome to my kingdom.

Oh great hunter,
please show us

how you sneak up on things.

You're talking to
the wrong lion!

Hi!
I'm Kefira!

Kefira!
[roars]

Ahh!

How many times
have I told you

not to interrupt
royal business?

But Papa.

You know mama and her
sisters do all the hunting!

[laughs]

She's right you know.

Kefira!
Show our guests

what makes lions such
great sneaker uppers.

While I attend to
important royal business.

[Yawn]

Hmmm what
can I sneak up on?

Ooh,
how about ME?

Let's play Bana Bana
Savana hunting tag!

Okay!
- YAY!

Playing is how I learned
hunting from my mom.

So where do we start?

♪ TUM TEE TUM TEE
TUM TEE TUM. ♪

♪ Oh I love to bathe!

Are we going to sneak up
slow like a Snow Leopard.

Or fast like a Cheetah?

Neither, lions are
sneaky in other ways!

We're gonna play a
little trick on him.

This what I
want you to do.

[Whispering] First of
all ...Pssst pssst pssst

[GIGGLES]

♪ Ya da de da da.

♪ Scrub scrub here,
scrub scrub there. ♪

Huh?

I believe I see you!
Nice try.

But you have to be
sneakier than that,

if you want to sneak up on
the Cat in the Hat!

Surprise!

Ahh!
Oh my whiskers and hat!

I never even knew
you were there!

That's how Lions hunt!

You were so busy
looking out for Kefira.

You never saw
us behind you!

That was a clever trick.

We work together.
Real sneaky huh?

Thanks Kefira.

I can't wait
to get back and try

sneaking up on my mom!

It'll be easy now you've
learned from a lion!

See you later!

I'm so proud I'm a cat.

We've learned a lot, From
some great sneaker uppers.

We do it for fun.
Big cats?

For their suppers!

One things for certain,
however it's done.

Slow, fast or tricky.

Sneaking up is...

...FUN!

Bye Kefira!



♪ [Humming]

[quiet giggles]

Oh..
Huh?

Surprise!

Oh my!
I didn't see you there!

That's because you were
too busy watching the ball.

And we were sneaking up
on you really quietly.

You're such good
sneaker uppers.

How about a snack?

YAY!

Yes!
- Whoa!

Well done.

A big cat couldn't
do any better!

The biggest and
best Cat ever!

[giggles]

Thanks guys,
that means a lot!



Hmmm...

Should we use the big
bowl or the small one for

making our muffins?

The big bowl Sally!

Then we can make lots
and lots of muffins!

Good thinking Nick!

Then we'll need to add
lots and lots of flour!

[phone rings]

How 'bout pouring two cups
of flour into the bowl

while I get the phone.

Okay!
I'll add the flour!

Remember,
two cups.

Uh oh!

There's not enough
flour for ONE cup!

Then we can't make our
Best Ever Yummy

For Your Tummy Muffins!

Hmmm, did someone say
Best Ever Yummy

For Your Tummy Muffins?

[giggles]
It's the Cat!

The Cat in the Hat!

That's me!

Oooh, they're
invisible muffins too!

[giggles]

We haven't
made them yet.

We don't have
enough flour.

Well I know someone
who can help.

Who?
- Finola the farmer!

She makes the most
fantastic flour around!

She makes flour?

Would you like to go to
Finola's farm to get some?

Yes!

Your mother will not
mind at all if you do.

[giggles] Excuse me mom,
but can we go to Finola's

farm with the Cat to get
some fantastic flour?

Finola's farm to get
fantastic flour?

Sure!

Then do-si-do right
back to make muffins!

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

I know!
I know!

To the Thingamajigger!



Did you know that I'm
also an excellent baker?

Behold!
My gingerbread farmer!

I made it especially
for Finola!

Yee Haw!
We're here!

Finola's farm!

Hurray!

Hi Finola!

Well ee-i-ee-i-ooh!

If it isn't my
good friends!

How y'all doing?

We're good but our
tummies are grumbling!

We ran out of flour.

And now we can't make our
Best Ever Yummy For

Your Tummy Muffins.

Well, I've got
just what you need!

Here...

Hee hee.
Nose ticklers?

Nope,
wheat!

Makes for great baking!

Wheat?

But we need
flour, not wheat.

Yeah, this isn't powdery
like the flour back home.

Not yet.

We need to grind this here
wheat grain to make the flour!

Do you think
we can grind the grain

to make our own flour?

You hootenanny canny!

What are we waiting for,
let's get grinding!

Whoa there,
Cat.

First we've got to pick
the wheat,

but my combine harvester...

... the machine I use
to pick it - is broken!

We could help you pick it!

Then let's get pickin'
like a hungry chicken!

[giggles]

We'll put the
wheat in my hat!



Wow, that's a
lot of wheat.

Enough for a
million muffins!

[chuckle]
Not quite.

We don't use the whole
stalk to make flour,

just the grain up top.

Is there enough grain in
Cat's hat to make our flour?

For sure!

But I need the
whole field picked.

The whole field?

That's right, or my
wheat will go bad.

Have more wheat to
pick, pick, pick?

Call Thing One
and Thing Two,

they're quick, quick, quick!

[whistles]

Hello!



Hit the
Pickamadoodle button!





[giggles]

Hooo-eee, now that's what
I call a quick pick!

Thanks Thing one
and Thing two!

Now we grind the wheat
into flour, right?

Not yet.

It's time to
thresh the wheat!

Huh?
Thresh the wheat?

Yep.

Since we only need the
grain up top to make the

flour, it's time to
knock'em off the stalk!

That's threshing!

Oh look!
A blanket!

Is that to
snuggle the wheat?

[laughs] No, the blanket
catches the wheat while

I thresh it with my
wheat-knocker-off-er.

It's my homemade thresher.

Here, toss your wheat onto
the blanket and

I'll show you how it works!

[tossing sound]

Whee!

Stand back everyone

Whew,
that should do it!

Have a look see!

Wow!

Look at all the grain!

Yay! Now we can grind
it to make flour!

Whoa there dumplin'.

We've knocked the grain
off the stalk, but

now we have to
remove the chaff.

Chaff?
What's that?

That's the outside skin.

See?

So we peel them,
like a banana?

Ho ho, kinda, but I have a
way that's a lot more fun!

We WINNOW the wheat!

[giggling]
Well winnow sounds funny.

Oh I LOVE to winnow...

You toss the wheat up on
a breezy day,

So the wind can
blow the chaff away!

Hey my hat!

Come back!

Here we go.

Put some wheat in your
basket like this...

Now give it the
ol' ally-oopsy!

Ally-oopsy!
- Ally-oopsy!

The wind's blowing the
wheat skin, uh,

I mean chaff away!

Okey-dokey!

Let's check the wheat!

Wow! I don't see anymore
chaff on the wheat.

Me either!

So now that we
picked the wheat...

And threshed the wheat!

And winnowed the wheat!

It must be time to...

Grind the wheat?

Yee-haw!
That's right!

Yea!

Wooo,
what is that?

My mill.

I use it to grind the
wheat into flour!

Oh!
Can we try?

You sure can!

Here, scoop up some grain
and pour it into the funnel.

That's it.

Now Nick, take this crank
and give it a good turn.

Like this?

That's right.

Now keep your
peepers on the pot.

Oh!
I see something!

Is that flour?

Sure as the
hair on my head!

The mill is grinding
the grain into flour!

We did it!
We're making flour!

[giggles]

Oh my...
Got it!

[giggles]

Do you think we have
enough for our

Best Ever Yummy For Your
Tummy Muffins?

Oh yes!

And for the best ever
bread, and pancakes

and cupcakes too!

Hurrah!
We've got flour!

Now we can go home
and make our muffins!

Not yet!

There's just one
thing left to do.





Ta-da!

Well nuts and bolts!

You fixed my
combine harvester!

Thank you Thing
One and Thing Two!

Bye bye!
Yippee!

Now we can go home.

Thanks Finola...

For showing us how to make
our very own

home-made fantastic flour!

Oh!
Oh!

I made something yummy
for your tummy Finola!

Right Cat?
- Indeedy-do!

Fish baked this
gingerbread farmer

especially for you!

Why thank you Fish!
But it's missing a foot.

Oops, it just smelled sooo
tasty I had to try it!

[disappointed sigh]

[laugh]

Bye bye Finola!
- Bye Finola!

Ya'll are welcome to
come back anytime!

Oh,
we'll be back -

especially when
we need more flour!

Bye bye!

If we run out of flour we
know what to do,

Pick a bunch of wheat
and thresh it

through and through.

Toss the grain in the air,
to winnow off the skin,

Then grind it in the mill,
and let the baking begin!



Okay everybody!
Let's dig in!

I think I'll have...
this one!

Hee hee.

And this one's for me!

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

That's the BEST...
...EVER...

...YUMMY FOR YOUR TUMMY...

...Muffin I ever tasted!

[laughing]



Psst.
Hey kids,

out more stuff

about animals,
plants and well fish?
