The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That!™ is designed to spark a love of learning and an interest in science in preschool-aged children.

Based on Random House’s best-selling Beginner Book collection “The Cat in the Hat’s Learning Library™,” the TV series and online resources are designed to cultivate positive views about science and scientists among the next generation—the children who will become tomorrow’s citizens and innovators—and help families and teachers build communities of science explorers.

In each program, the Cat in the Hat and his friends
Sally and Nick go on a science adventure such as shrinking to bee-size
to explore a hive and discover how honey is made; flying with birds to
discover how and why they migrate; diving inside flowers to find out
more about the animals that depend on them to live; or taking a
snowcat to the Arctic to explore freezing and melting. Guided by the
Cat, the children figure things out by engaging in science inquiry.
They ask questions, make observations, make predictions, plan
investigations, collect data, make discoveries, and generate and
discuss ideas about how the world works.

Each half-hour television episode consists of two 11-minute animated
adventures, along with corresponding short animated clips. Each
adventure revolves around a specific science concept such as bird
migration or animal camouflage. The animated clips feature songs and
rhymes, interesting science facts, humorous science explorations by
Thing One and Thing Two, and interviews of animals by Sally and Nick.

The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That! is voiced by
award-winning actor Martin Short and produced by Portfolio
Entertainment Inc. and Collingwood O'Hare Productions, in
association with Dr. Seuss Enterprises, Random House Children's
Entertainment, Treehouse, and PBS KIDS.

The Great Word Quest, aimed at kids ages 6-8, sends players on an online scavenger hunt to play games, crack riddles, and earn trophies and word gems. The hunt includes games and characters from The Electric Company, Martha Speaks, and Word Girl, as well as brand-new games created especially for the Great Word Quest. Each player's progress is tracked so parents and teachers can learn more about the specific literacy skills being addressed, from vocabulary to reading comprehension.
