Yeah!

My dollhouse furniture fits perfectly in your pickle jar.

Cricket's gonna love it!

Actually, I decided to call him Crick, 'cause it rhymes with Nick!

(Sally laughing) Okay, Crick, your new house is ready.

(Chirping) Huh?

He's not going in.

I wonder why.

We've thought of everything, haven't we?

CAT: It's a charming house.

Cat!

Do you really like it?

I do, I do.

Every window has a view!

But Nick's cricket won't go into his new home.

Why does he need a new home?

'Cause my mom's gardening and she needs to use this wheelbarrow.

We need to make Crick the perfect house, and soon!

I know.

Let's go to Dwellington.

It's the best place for house-building ideas.

Your mother won't mind at all if you do!

Mom!

Can Sally and I go with the Cat in the Hat to learn how to make the perfect house?

And what is wrong with our house?

Nothing!

It's for a cricket that's living under your wheelbarrow.

Oh!

Well, lucky cricket.

Sure, go have fun.

Thanks, Mom!

Oh, and don't move the wheelbarrow till we're done, okay?

Okay.

(Chuckling) We can go!

We can go!

I know, I know!

To the Thingamajigger!

Buckle up!

(Horn honking) Flick the Jiggermawhizzer.

(Trumpets sounding) Isn't this fun?

CAT: We'll be there in a jiffy.

It's going to be grand.

We'll design the most crickety house in the land.

Design?

I thought we were going to make one?

Ah, well, making something without designing it first is like flying somewhere without filling the tank with go-go-go juice.

You might not get where you were planning to go.

(Engine sputtering) What was that?

(Alarm sounding) Whoopsie.

I forgot to fill the tank with go-go-go juice.

We'll have to make an unplanned landing on Laguna Maroon Island.

(Engine sputtering) Land, sweet land!

SALLY: Hey, Cat, where are we?

We're the only ones here.

How are we gonna get more go-go-go juice?

Not to worry.

I know just who to call.

Hello?

Uh, is this 24-Hour Thingam-Assist?

(Voice chattering, indistinct) I'm calling from Laguna Maroon Island.

We seem to have run out of go-go-go juice.

(Chattering) Yes?

Uh-huh?

Perfect!

Well, it'll take a while, but help is on the way.

Oh, the sun is really hot, and there's no shade!

Do you have any extra hats, Cat, or beach umbrellas?

'Fraid not.

Oh, my poor sensitive scales!

I'll get a fin burn.

Maybe we could make some shade.

Great idea!

Uh, how are we gonna do that?

No problem, my friend Fish.

Shade is coming your way!

Perfect!

Thank you, Cat!

But you can't stand there forever.

Hmm, I hadn't thought of that.

Maybe we could build a shelter to protect us from the sun!

Excellent idea.

First, we need stuff to build it with.

Yes!

Materials!

Uh, like what?

Guess we'll just have to see what things we can find.

Ooh, thing finding, what fun!

On your marks, get set, find!

(Laughing) Ah, perfect!

(Rattling) Ahh!

(Laughing) Ooh!

We found lots of materials.

Look at Nick's nifty sticks!

Ah!

They're nice and strong.

Yes, but they're not wide enough to make much shade.

Your big leaves are shady.

Oops!

They're shady, alright, but not strong enough to stand up.

Ah!

I found seaweed!

It isn't strong or shady, but it does make a lovely swish when I dance the hula.

(Sally laughing) And I found these round things.

They might be good for something.

What if we combine our materials to build a shelter?

What do you have in mind?

Well, it could look like this.

We can use my strong sticks to make it stand up.

And my big leaves to make it shady!

And these round things for... Hmm, I don't know what.

Now, that is what I call a great design.

If only we had something long and stringy to hold everything together.

Hmm.

(Gasping) We do!

Cat!

Look!

We do?

Ah, we do!

How clever.

Well, what are we waiting for?

One shady shelter coming up!

♪ That is the prettiest shelter I've ever seen!

Let's try it out and see if it works.

Last one in is a hot jellyfish!

(Laughing) Ah, it is cool and shady in here!

I'd say you designed the perfect shady shelter.

Thank you from every one of my sensitive scales.

(Sighing) Hey!

Who turned on the lights?

(Wind blowing) SALLY: The wind is making the leaves flap!

I guess our shady shelter isn't perfect, after all.

Hardly anyone's right on their very first go.

But the next time you try it, you'll know what you know.

Cat's right, Sally.

We just have to come up with a better design!

Hmm.

These leaves have a lot of spaces between them, and it's letting the sunlight through.

We need something else to help block the sun.

Whoa!

What about those leaves?

They don't have any spaces!

(Sally gasping) They're perfect!

But we'll never get them down from way up there.

Oh, never say never, Sally!

When there's something you need but it's too high for you, you can always rely on Thing 1 and Thing 2!

(Whistling) (Thing 1 and 2 chattering) BOTH: Yoo-hoo!

Hello!

Dear Things, how are ya?

Would you be ever so kind and get us some of those great big leaves from way up there?

BOTH: Uh-huh!

(Chattering) (Leaves rustling) (Shouting triumphantly) Whee!

Ta-da!

Thanks, Things!

These look great!

Let's give 'em a try.

I think it's much better.

But we'd better test it again.

Right you are!

Time for a shady shelter inspection.

Strong materials?

Uh... (Clanging) Check!

Wind-proof design?

(Things blowing) Check!

And finally, is our shady shelter shady?

It's perfect!

I declare this the shadiest shelter in Laguna Maroon!

(All cheering) You did it!

We all did it!

Not really.

You guys planned it, found materials, built it, and improved it.

All I did was find these useless little round thingies.

CAT: Hmm.

Aha, I thought so.

These aren't thingies, they're go-go-go fruits.

Does go-go-go juice come from go-go-go fruits?

(Squirting) CAT: Yup!

They're the juiciest fruit there is!

Uh, wait!

We could use the go-go-go juice to refuel the Thingamajigger!

Now, why didn't I think of that?

Fish, you're ever so helpful!

Well, that should do it!

All aboard for Dwellington!

Cat, do you mind if we go straight home instead?

But what about Crick's house?

We think we know how to design a better house for Crick.

The jar is really hot from the sun.

Just like on the island!

No wonder Crick wouldn't go inside.

But Crick needs a home that's cool and shady.

We need to build him a shady shelter.

Let's look for materials!

What a lucky cricket.

He has two expert designers to plan his house!

(Gasping) This old flowerpot will help.

(Sighing) There.

Shady and natural.

Okay, Crick, hope you like your new shady shelter!

(Chirping) (All cheering) There is nothing more thoughtful for two kids to give than a beautiful home where our new friend can live.

(Chirping) (Laughing) Yes!

It finally stopped raining!

Whoa!

You almost got me again, puddle!

(Laughing) Hey, Nick.

Wasn't that a totally awesome rainstorm?

Sally, watch out!

Oh, thanks!

I'd hate to miss a chance to do... this!

(Sally and Fish laughing) Hey, what are you doing?

When I see a puddle, I just have to stomp in it.

Well, this is the place to be.

There's always a puddle here after a rainstorm, but I don't understand why.

Look!

The rain goes into the gutter up there, then comes all the way down to the ground and ends up right here.

That puddle is a puzzle.

SALLY AND NICK: Cat!

A puddle puzzler!

A perfectly puzzling puddle!

Do you know why there's always a puddle here, Cat?

Me?

Well, I do know a lot about water and its wild ways, and you know where I learned it?

Where?

From my favorite waterpark in the whole wet world!

Whoosh and Whirl Waterways!

Shall we go?

Sounds like fun.

Are you in, Fish?

A park made out of water?

Oh, yeah!

And then, we'll get to the bottom of this puddle problem?

Cross my puddle, hope to splash!

Okay, let's go!

Your mother will not mind at all if you do!

Mom!

Can we go to Whoosh and Whirl Waterways with the Cat in the Hat?

We got to find out why that puddle is always there after it rains.

(Mother laughing) Sure!

That's one mystery I'd love to solve.

We can go!

We can go!

I know, I know!

To the Thingamajigger!

Buckle up!

(Horn honking) Flick the Jiggermawhizzer.

(Trumpets sounding) Isn't this fun?

Wow!

I can't wait to slide down these whooshy, whirly waterslides!

Me too, but where's the water?

There's not a splish or splash to be seen.

There's lots of water over here!

Hmm.

All we have to do is figure out how to get this water onto that slide.

(Gasping) Maybe these levers control the water.

You push, I'll pull.

(Grunting) (Both grunting) Nope.

Those controls are moving pieces of the slides this way and that way.

And there's still no water.

Hmm, it's a "wheely" big puzzle.

BOTH: There, there!

What?

Where?

When you moved this wheel, some water came out.

Well, let's give it a spin and see what happens.

NICK: It's working!

The water's gushing out and down!

Yay!

Now, let's get whooshing!

Hmm, maybe we should test it out first.

I guess you're right, Nick.

But how?

To test if a slide's good for splish-splashy fun, you can never go wrong with Thing 2 and Thing 1.

(Whistling) (Thing 1 and 2 laughing) BOTH: Hello!

Would you Things like to go for some watery fun?

Then, just hop on this slide for a whooshing test run.

BOTH: Yeah!

Whoo-hoo!

(Laughing, chattering) Whee!

Whee!

Whoo-hoo!

Look at those Things go!

(Laughing) Ah!

Oh!

(Chattering angrily) What's going on?

The water's supposed to keep whooshing down the slide!

Instead, it's just falling straight down here.

(Gasping) You're right!

The water is leaking out of this hole!

We won't be able to whoosh and whirl unless we can fix it!

Hmm, now that's so true, but what shall we do?

We've got to stop the water first!

Ah!

Thing 1 and Thing 2!

Would you be so kind as to go up and turn the water off, please?

BOTH: Uh-huh!

(Panting) (Wheel turning) That's a big hole.

We need something big to fix it with.

Hmm!

Ah!

I've got it!

(Gasping) What have you got, Cat?

This is it.

Patch Anything chewing gum.

First you chew it.

Then, you blow it!

Then, you patch whatever needs patching!

Now, stand back and let those bubbles pop!

(Popping) (Groaning) See how well that worked?

Your turn!

(Giggling) (Nick laughing) We just need a bit more.

Hold on!

I'm still chewing!

(Laughing) Perfect!

Okay, Things!

Turn on the tap!

We're about to make a splash!

(Both chattering) We did it!

The water's going down the slide where it's supposed to go!

(Things laughing) And so are Thing 1 and Thing 2!

Look at them go, go, go!

(Laughing) (Splashing) And look at them stop, stop, stop!

Oh, no.

I wonder what stopped the water this time.

Is there another hole?

Hmm, I don't see one.

The water stays in the slide when it's going down.

But right where the slide curves up, the water flows over the edges and down onto the ground.

Maybe it's easier for the water to go down than it is to go up.

So, instead of going up the slide, it spills down over the edge.

So, if we want the water to stay on the slide all the way to the bottom... We have to make sure the slide is always going down.

Aha!

That's what those levers are for.

You're right, Fish!

Let's go fix this slide!

You have to remove that one.

Ooh, that worked.

Now, bring the straight one up.

Ooh, a little bit this way.

Almost got it.

Perfect!

You did it!

Now, the slide goes all the way down.

And the water should, too!

Okay, Things!

Turn on the tap, please!

THINGS: Uh-huh!

Now, that's what I call a waterslide!

(Cheering) (Laughing, chattering) It works!

What do you think, Cat?

I think it's time to go with the flow!

Okay, Nick, are you ready to whoosh and whirl?

I'm way ahead of you, Sally!

Whoo-hoo!

Here I come!

Let's take the plunge.

Ooh, I'm not sure about this.

It's only water!

(Both shouting) (All shouting, cheering) Yippee!

Yeah!

(Cheering) Ah, wasn't that fun, Nick?

Nick?

I know that look!

Nick's got an idea, Cat!

I think I just figured out why we always have a puddle in front of the house.

Well, then let's go!

So, the water comes off the roof and falls straight down here.

Look!

You can see the path it took flowing downhill.

And it goes this way and stops at this crooked stone in front of the step, because it can't go down any farther.

It's just like the pond at the bottom of the Whoosh and Whirl Waterways.

So, if we give the water a different way to keep going down, there won't be a puddle here anymore.

That's just what I was thinking!

Ingenious!

Creative!

(Laughing) What exactly are we doing?

We're making a path.

A path for the water.

(Gasping) It's working!

Water likes to go down, and it always finds the easiest way.

So now, you won't have to worry about stepping in a puddle at the bottom of your steps.

And you can go splash in the puddle by the bushes!

Yes!

In fact, I think I'll try it out right now!

Oh, how clever you are!

You whooshed and you whirled and so now you both know, if you're following water, just go with with the flow.
