I found the smallest creature in the back yard, Sally.

I don't think so, Nick.

This ant's way smaller.

Whoa... you're right!

There's nothing smaller than an ant.

(unhappy sound) (Gasp) My you look big today!

It's the Cat!

The Cat in the Hat!

We were looking for the smallest creature in the back yard... And I won with this tiny weeny ant!

Hmmm.

He is small.

But I know creatures that are even smaller!

Smaller than an ant?

Much, much, much, much, muck, much smaller!

(giggles) Why, if they were any smaller they wouldn't be there at all.

Where are they?

Puddle Jump Pond!

There are lots of teeny-weeny creatures around there.

Can we go see?

Of course!

Your mother will not mind at all if you do!

(giggles) Mom!

Can we go to look for teeny weeny creatures in Puddle Jump Pond?

Isn't that where the teeny weeny creatures live?

They do.

But the creatures I'm thinking of are teenier than teeny weeny.

They don't need to go into a big pond.

We can find them right here.

In this tiny water drop.

Hmmm...

I can't see them.

Well, it's because you're big and they're very small.

So let's... Press the Shrinkamadoodle!

He's lost!

When you shrink down to teenier than teeny weeny, a water drop's as big as an ocean!

Then how do we find him?

Let's swim around until we bump into him.

Oh, it will be fun!

Whoah!

What's that?

It must be one of the creatures that lives in this drop of water!

It's shiny like a star!

OUCH!

Sally and Nick, meet my friend Dolly the Diatom!

♪ Have you seen our other friend Fish swim by?

♪ Huh?

That's a tough question for a Diatom.

They don't talk... or see... or think.

Why?

Well...each of your bodies is made up of millions and zillions of tiny bits called "cells".

Your heads are made of cells, so are your feet, Zillions of cells let you think, walk and eat.

These cells they are tiny.

Too tiny to see.

To count them would take a whole year, believe me!

I've got a zillion cells.

How many cells does Dolly have?

Just one!

One!

Going somewhere?

We're going on an adventure.

But we can't decide how to travel.

Hmmm...Plants and trees know all sorts of ways to get around.

They've got traveling down pat!

But plants and trees can't move.

They're planted in the ground.

They don't go anywhere.

Ha-hah, but their seeds do.

Their seeds?

Their seeds?

Oh yes, in deed!

You can find seeds in fruit.

Or in a flowery bloom.

<DEEP SNIFF> (laugh) Every plant and tree needs a seed to get growing!

And that's why plants and trees send their seeds a-going!

I'd like to see that!

Yeah!

Me, too!

Are those the seeds?

Absolutely, affirmatively!

Cool!

Now I get it!

Seeds can travel in the air!

Just think...When these seeds land on the ground, they'll grow into new trees.

Er, speaking of flying... A big bird's coming this way!

Woah!

Even in his bowl, he has the situation under control.

But, Cat, how will we get back to the Thinga-ma-jigger?

We're much too small to climb down.

What if we travel just like these maple tree seeds?

Well of course, it's a Gorse.

Gorse bushes are always sneezing.

And they never say "excuse me".

Whoa, watch out!

Come on, Cat!

Up you go.

Thistles are sure prickly and sticky.

[pulling effort] Oh, that's just peachy!

Except for the fact that my back is now ITCHY!

Ooohhhhhhhh!

Ahhhh!

Someone scratch!

Hold still, Cat.

Hmm, would you look at that?

It's a burr.

Not burr as in I'm cold, but burr as in a type of seed.

I guess that's how thistles send their seeds on trips.

Yeah.

The burrs stick to something else.

And it's stuck to me now.

No doubt about that, my clever friends.

Well goodbye, burr.

You can stick to someone else's fur!

Hey, Cat!

Nick!

Sally!

A little help here!

That's a lot of water to cross.
