Production notes
Each 30-minute episode consists of two cartoons.
Based on the acclaimed The Cat in the Hat's Learning Library book series, published by Random House.
The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That! is the first animated series starring the famous children's book character. With Cat as their guide, six-year-old best friends Sally and Nick are transported to all corners of the globe, making natural science discoveries of all kinds. Along for the ride are Cat's two energetic helpers, the mop-headed zany duo Thing One and Thing Two. Booting around in Cat's one-of-a-kind custom vehicle, the Thinga-ma-jigger, the group can travel to the bottom of the sea or shrink down to the size of a bee to discover how honey is made. The Thinga-ma-jigger can float, fly, drive and even ski.
Educational Objective: Bamboo is an incredible plant (in fact, a type of grass) that can be used for many things, from food to flutes to furniture!
