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!

(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 4!> 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.

I did!

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!

When Winter arrives, some sleep and some go, and the rest of us find ways to play in the snow!
