From the title theme of The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That!

Hey! What?! Come over here! The Cat in the Hat is about to appear! He's coming over to whisk you away on a fabulous journey today!
The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That

The Cat in the Hat, Sally, Nick and their animal friends

The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That! is an American/Canadian/British animated television series that premiered August 7, 2010 on Treehouse TV in Canada and on PBS Kids in the US and also in the UK on CITV and Cartoonito. The program was developed by Portfolio Entertainment, Random House Children Entertainment, and Collingwood O’Hare Productions, and is presented in widescreen and high-definition, where available.

Based on an earlier property, The Cat in the Hat's Learning Library, it focuses on the adventures of the children Sally and Nick, who go on adventures in learning with The Cat in the Hat (voiced by Martin Short) and his pal, Fish, via a magical device called the Thinga-ma-jigger, a Seussian contraption that can sprout wings, pontoons, booster rockets, change size, and do just about anything else necessary to further the adventure. The adventures are prompted by a question posed by either Nick or Sally at the beginning of each episode, which inevitably leads them around the globe to "make natural science discoveries." Along the way, they are also assisted by The Cat's helpers, Thing One and Thing Two.

The program focuses on teaching children about the natural world around them, from the changing of the seasons to plant and animal life. There is also a focus on general pro-social lessons, such as working together as a team and behaving fairly towards others.

The first season has 40 half-hour episodes. PBS Kids has renewed it for a second season of 20 episodes that premiered on September 10, 2012. The third season premiered in March 2018.

Official NCircle Theme Song Video

Hey? What! Come over here
The Cat in the Hat is about to appear
He's coming over to whisk you away
On a fabulous journey today

He's coming!
And now he's arrived
In the thingamajigger, the thing that drives
He's a cat and he's oodles of fun
With his hairy helpers
Thing Two and Thing One

(extended instrumental break)

It’s the Cat in the Hat
All of our adventures start like that
Wherever you're going, wherever you're at
The Cat in the Hat knows about a lot about
He knows a lot about, he knows a lot about
He knows a lot about that!

(children giggling)
