Post by bunniefuu »





Look Nick -
my funny sunglasses!

I wore these all summer!

Good idea, Sally!
Or...

...you could
take our kite!

We flew that a
lot in the spring.

[laugh]
Whoa!

['blowing' sounds]
It's the Cat!

The Cat in the Hat!

Phew!

It might be easier
to fly that OUTdoors.

[laugh] We're not
flying kites, Cat.

I'm looking for something
to take to school

for Show and Tell!

We're supposed to bring
something from our

favourite time
of the year -

spring, summer,
fall or winter.

I especially like spring
and summer, but

I can't decide which
season I like best.

Hmm.
Uh!

Maybe it would help if you saw
Spring and Summer again?

How?
It's almost Fall now.

Not in the Garden
of Seasons.

What's the Garden
of Seasons?

Oh, it's a very special
garden, where you can

visit any season you like
- any time you like!

That would really
help me choose!

Can we go,
Cat?

Of course we can!

Your mother will not
mind at all if you do.

[giggles]
Mom!

Can we go to the Garden of
Seasons to see

Spring and Summer?

Spring and Summer?
[chuckle]

Gee, I thought those
only came once a year.

But okay honey,
have fun.

Thanks,
Mom!

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

I know!
I know!

To the thingamajigger.

Everybody ready to see some
warm and wonderful seasons?

I am!

Sally even lent
me her sunglasses.

[giggle] I'd call
those FUN-glasses.

Buckle up!
[honk]



Flick the jiggermawhizzer!

[boing]

[honk]

[pop]



Isn't this fun?

Yahoooooooo!

♪ Here we go, go, go, go!
On an adventure. ♪

♪ The Thingamajigger
is up and away! ♪

♪ Go, go, go, go!
On an adventure! ♪

♪ We're flying with the
Cat in the Hat today! ♪

♪ The garden of seasons
will help Sally choose ♪

♪ Her favourite season -
there's no time to lose! ♪

♪ Here we go, go, go, go!
On an adventure. ♪

♪ Go, go, go, go, GO!



And,
there it is...

...the Garden of Seasons!

It's enormous!

Whoa!

Wow!



Ahh,
how beautiful!

[laughs]
Oh my, thank you!

[Nick and Sally,
this is Gardenia.

Oh a pleasure it
is to meet you!

What brings you to my
Garden of Seasons?

Um, I'm trying to pick
which season I like best -

Spring or Summer.

Ah, so you'd like
to visit them!

Let me think - what was
the door-opening rhyme?

Erm...Spring and summer
are yours to explore,

You will find Spring
behind that green...

uh...

...Door?
- [laughing] Yes!

Behind that green door!

Thank you!
- Thanks, Gardenia!



Cool!

Oh,
my!

Amazing!
It really IS Spring!

Of course it is!

Just feel the
warm sunshine.

Look how the plants are waking
up and starting to grow!

Like these ones!

But what are all
the bumps on them?

Flower buds!

Baby flowers that
haven't bloomed yet.

Don't be shy,
little bud -

we can't wait
to see your flower!

This tree has
flowers already.

[sniffs]
Ahh. Apple blossoms!

Don't they smell sweet?

And they'll be even sweeter,
after they turn into apples.

Spring is almost perfect!

I wish I had a camera.

A camera?
Consider it done!

One Snaparama
for each of you!

[giggles]

[camera speaking]
Apple blossoms.

Cool! It knows what
everything is!

Mama!
Is that you?

[giggle] Candy,
that's not your mama.

It's the Cat in the Hat!

Well, hi guys!
Good to see you!

Nick, Sally, I'd like
you to meet Sam -

[SNAP! ]
Snowshoe Hare.

[gasp] Wow!
- and Candy.

[laughs]

[SNAP!]
Canada goose.

[laughs]
- Nice to meet you, Candy.

Are you looking for your Mom?
- Uh-huh.

I was following her to
the pond, but I got lost.

Sam's helping me look.

[erf] I'm hopping as high
as I can, [erf]

but I still can't see her!

Don't worry,
Candy.

We'll help you
find your Mom!

If you were heading to
the pond,

maybe we should start there?

Good idea!
Aren't you clever?

I'll wait here, in case
Candy's Mom comes back.

Okay!
C'mon.

Let's get hopping!

[giggles, hopping effort]

Do you see anybody?

Yeah!
But it's not a goose...

[SNAP]

Wood Frog.

That can't be right.

The camera thinks it's a frog,
but it looks like a fish!

Frogs DO look like
fish when they're babies.

They're called tadpoles!

Isn't that right, Woody?
- Yeah!

But I'll be a frog
when I grow up.

Who are you?

I'm Nick, and
this is Sally.

We're trying to help
Candy find her Mom.

Mama Goose?
Ooh, I just saw her!

If you honk really loud,
I bet she'll hear you.

Okay!

[BABY HONKS x !]

Hmm. Maybe you need
a little help.

Goose-honkers
for everyone!

Ready? Set?
HONK!

[inhale]
[honks]

MAMA!
- Candy!

Oh my little gosling!
I was so worried.

Aww.

[BABY HONKS!]

[surprised]
More goslings!

[laugh] There sure are
a lot of babies in the Spring!

Of course, it's a
great time to be born!

They have all summer and
fall to grow big and strong

before the cold,
cold winter comes again.

[laugh] I almost wish
they wouldn't grow up.

Baby animals are my
favourite part of Spring!

Does that mean Spring is
your favourite season?

Er maybe!

But I still want to see
summer before I decide...



That was SO much fun!

I knew you'd like it!

Spring is charming,
but summer is too!

See for yourself -
through the door

that is... blue!

Look out Summer,
here we come!

Thank you!
- Thanks Gardenia!



[gasp]
It's the same place!

Only now it's a
sunny Summer day!

Sun-sational!

[giggle] See how
tall the grass is?

And look,
the flowers are blooming!

Even you,
little buddy.

Nice going!

The apple blossoms
are gone...

but you were right, Cat -
they turned into apples!

Sour apples.

Sour?
Why?

Because they're
not ripe yet!

They're still growing.

In Summer, everything
is growing up.

Uh, Cat?
Something's coming down.

DUCK!

[honk]
Whoa...OOF!

Candy!
Is that you?

Didn't recognize me,
did you?

These are my
grown-up feathers.

And she's not the
only one who's grown up.

Check out Sam and Woody!

Hi guys!
Ribbit.

[gasp] Woody did
grow into a frog!

Told you!
See, I grew legs,

and now I can hop
as fast as anybody!

Wanna race?

Hey, yeah -
let's all race!

Okay-Okay!
But can I fly instead of hop?

Can Sally and I run?

Can I ride a
Tricle-a-bicle?

Sure!
Anything goes!

Hooray!

But a Tricle-a-bicle is
hard to ride,

without Thing One and
Thing Two by my side...

[whistles]

Hello!

[laughs]
Everybody ready?

Don't be slow!

One, two, three
and here we GOOOO!

[running efforts,
laughing]

Wait!
Where's the finish line?

How about the apple tree!

[giggles]
Back to the tree!

Turn around,
guys!

[pedalling noises]

I think we have a winner!

Yea!

Whew!

Wow.

The tree leaves are way bigger
than they were in spring.

Yeah!

It seems like everything
gets bigger in the summer.

Plants, frogs,
geese...

[stomach gurgles]

[laugh] ...and
your tummy noises.

'Scuse me.
I'm hungry.

It's too bad the
apples aren't ready.

Yeah.
Let's go home for a snack!

Go home?

But what about picking
a favourite season?

What about Show and Tell!

Don't worry,
Cat.

I know just what to
do for Show and Tell!



There.
Finished!

What do you think?

It'll be perfect
for Show and Tell!

Why have just one
favourite season,

when you can have two?

In Spring the flowers
and animals sprout,

by Summer they're bigger and
frogs leap about.

From season to season
there's one thing I know,

It's fun to watch plants
and animals grow!

How about you,
Nick?

Do you have a
favourite season?

Sure!
It's either Spring...

or Summer...

or maybe Fall, when the
leaves change colour?

Or Winter,
when it snows!

Hmm...

It's a good thing
we have a snack.

This might take a while.

[laughing and snacking].

Hmm. This is a hard
choice, Sally.

Jumping in the
leaves is fun...

- so maybe Fall is
my favourite season?

But Nick,
what about skating?

That's a winter thing.

Oh, yeah!
Winter's great!

But so is Fall.

[sigh]
I just can't pick!

Pick?
Pick?

Who said pick?

It's the Cat!

The Cat in the Hat!

I have lots of picks!

Guitar picks,
toothpicks...

[chuckle] I'm trying to
pick my favourite season.

For Show and Tell.

But I can't decide
between Fall and Winter!

And last Fall and Winter
were sooo long ago.

Not in the Garden
of Seasons.

That's a very
special garden,

where it's Fall AND Winter,
right now!

Hey, let's go there
to help me decide!

Of course!

Your mother will not
mind at all if you do.

[Giggles]
Mom!

Can Sally and I go with
Cat to the

Garden of Seasons to see
Fall and Winter?

Fall and Winter?
[laugh] Sure.

Just bundle up though!
Winter's cooollld.

We will!
Thanks, Mom!

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

I know!
I know!

To the Thingamajigger!

Next stop,
Garden of Seasons!

Cat! You're forgetting
something.

You are so right!

Two Snaparama cameras,
to help you 'focus' on

all the great stuff in
Fall and Winter!

Wow!
Thanks, Cat!

Don't mention it.

Buckle up!

Flick the jiggermawhizzer!

And there it is.
The Garden of Seasons!



Hellooo?
Gardenia?

Cat!

What a nice surprise.

And you brought
your friends!

Hi!
- Hello!

I did!

And Nick and Sally would
LOVE to see your

Garden of Seasons.

Especially in
Fall and Winter.

Ooh, those are
nice seasons!

I'm trying to
pick my favourite.

Let's see. What was my
door-opening rhyme?

If it's Fall
you wish to know,

through that red door
you must ....gooooo!

Cool!
- Thanks, Gardenia!



Wow!
- Wow!

Who turned up the colour?

Nature did!

The leaves change
colour every Fall.

Then, they let go of the
tree and twirly-twirl

gracefully down to
the ground -

Careful!
[twirling]

Aha-ahaaa- Oof. Ooh.
- Cat!

Fall leaves
are so crunchy!

Are you thinking
what I'm thinking?

Last one in's
a lazy leaper!

[gleeful shouts]
[laughs and giggles]

Yippee!
-Huh?

Hey!
- Hi guys.

Well look who's here!

Kids, say 'hi'
to Sam and Woody.

Hi!
Can we take your pictures?

Sure!

[giggles]

[camera voice]
Snowshoe Hare.

Wood frog.

These are smart cameras!

Of course!
You're smart kids.

Hey, where's our
friend Candy?

Up there!
With her family.

[honking]

[giggles]

Canada geese.

They're practicing for
their big winter trip.

Right!

When all geese fly off to
a nice warm place,

with no snow and
lots of food.

Hey! Why don't we have a
going-away party?

Yes!
- Splendiferous idea!

We'll have decorations,
and food...

Food?
We can help with that!

First stop -
the farmer's field!

There's always leftovers,

after he picks his
crops in the Fall.

Hey look!

Ripe corn!

Sounds like
party food to me!

Yes, Canada
Geese love corn!

It gives Candy lots of
energy for her big trip!

Then what are
we waiting for?



Here you go...
delicious weeds!

I LOVE 'em.

Uh, thanks Sam, but Nick
and I don't eat weeds.

Hmm.

Then what are you going
to eat at the party?

Ah!
An idea just hit me.

Apples! They've been
growing all summer,

and now they're big,
ripe and sweet to eat!

Perfect!

I can't wait to see
Candy's face...

Yummy!

Honk honk!

[gasp]
What's all this?

Your going-away party!

With lots of food
for everyone.

Aww.
Thanks!

You're welcome!
Let's dig in!

Oh goody!

[eating noises]

Yummy!

[eating noises]

I wish you didn't have
to fly away, Candy.

I'll miss you!

I'll miss you too,
Sam.

But don't worry, I'll
be back in the Spring.

We should go,
too.

We have another
season to see!

Wait! Can I take one
more picture?

Sure!

Okay... everybody,
say Fall!

FALL!

[camera voice]
Friends being silly.

[giggles]



So?
How was Fall?

Fun!
And delicious.

Oh I'm so glad!

But there's one more
treat waiting for you...

You'll find Winter
full of delight,

Just pass through
that door that is...

white!

Thank you!
- Thanks Gardenia!

Woo! This is awesome!
- Woo! Yippee!

[laughs]

It's beautiful!

But what happened
to the apples? And the weeds?

Under the snow,
I guess!

No wonder Candy left.

Food must be hard to find.

Oh, but not
everyone goes away.

Lots of animals
stay behind!

All you need is a way
to cope with the cold weather.

[giggle]
- Sam?

Your fur turned white!

We almost didn't see you,
in the white snow!

Being hard to spot is
great protection

from hungry animals.

They can't catch
what they can't see!

Hmm.

Do you know who
else I can't see? Woody.

Oh,
he's down by the pond.

Great!
Let's go visit him.

[chuckle] Okay, but I
don't think he'll have

much to say...

[digging]
Let's see... Aha!

Here he is.
- Woody!

Is he, okay?
- Sure!

Woody's just doing what
frogs do all winter.

Sleeping!

All safe and cozy-wozy
under the leaves.

Aww.
Let's tuck him back in.

So, if Woody sleeps
through the winter,

and Candy flies away...

What do you do
all winter, Sam?

Not much.

It's pretty quiet without
my friends around.

Quiet?
In Winter?

But there's so much to do!

Yeah!
You've got a great pond.

Maybe we could
all go skating?

Okay! Uh,
what's skating?

Don't worry.
We'll show you!

But before we skate,
Thing Two and Thing One

will help us make sure
it's safely done!

[whistles]

Hello!



We have to check that
the ice is strong enough

to skate on!

Flick the
Jumpa-ma-thumper!

[bouncing noises]

If the ice can hold the
Jumpa-mathumper,

then for sure it'll hold us.

Let's get this
party started!

♪ humming

I'm doing it!
I'm skating!

Me too!
Sort of.

♪ humming

[wobbly sounds,
laughs]

I call this move
the Flying Fish!

Bravo!

[cheers!]

Ta da!
- Woo hoo!



[laughing]

I get such a KICK
out of skating!

[laughing]

I wish Woody
and Candy could see this!

[laughs]
They can!

I'll take a picture...



Oh!
Whoa!

[laughing]

Now I remember why I like
Winter as much as Fall!

[camera voice]
Friends.Skating.



Nice work,
Nick!

Your poster's going to be a
Show and Tell show-stopper.

Thanks!

I just couldn't choose
between Fall and Winter.

Why choose?
They're both great!

In Fall there's plenty
of food around

So animals feast, until
snow hits the ground!

When Winter arrives,
some sleep and some go,

and the rest of us find
ways to play in the snow!

[giggles]

Fish, did you
forget to take off

your skating outfit?

I didn't forget,
I just like it!

I think I'll keep it
on 'til Winter.

[laugh]
Look at you!

Psst,
hey kids!

Wanna find out more
fun stuff about

animals, plants
and well... fish?

[laughs]
