♪ Hi Sally!

What are you doing?

I'm looking for something!

That's my favorite game!

Let's look for... uh ... bears!

No, Nick.

I'm looking for a flower...

Looking for bears is way more fun.

Yeah but I want to find a nice flower to cheer my Mom up.

She's got a cold.

I'll help you.

Ahh... oh!

Found one!

Oh!

It's nice, but Mom likes more colorful flowers.

(BLOWS) (laughs) Hmmm.

This is going to be harder than I thought.

Wow!

Look!

Over there!

(laughs) That's not a flower!

Ta-da!

It's the Cat in the Hat!

Yes, it's me, the Cat!

The Cat in the Hat!

Aren't I a pretty kitty?

(purrs) (laughs) (laughs) What-ya doin?

We're trying to find a flower for my Mom.

Ooh, I know a lot about flowers.

What kind do you need?

Large?

Extra large?

Stripy?

Spotty?

Or plastic?

Hmmm...

I don't know, but it has to be really pretty.

Oh pretty is smart.

But that's just the start.

They can be exciting, amazing, spectacular.

They can?

Oh they can, can, can!

And I can show you just how special flowers can be.

A bear would be even more special!

We can't give my Mom a bear, Nick.

She's right, Nick.

Believe me, you don't want to sniff a bear.

But I know a place where fun flowers bloom, In the wonderful forest of Flora-Fah-Zoom!

Can we go there?

Please!

I thought you'd never ask!

Your mother will not mind at all if you do!

Mom, is it okay if we go with the Cat to the forest of Flora Fah-zoom?

(sniffle) Well, okay!
