Timmy Tippy Toes

Nick and Sally are trying to jump high enough to touch the Moon. However, gravity is — according to the Cat — "what goes up must come down"; to show them just what gravity is, that means a trip to the Moon. That's where they meet Astronaut Audrey who takes them for a space walk to learn all about gravity.

Jumping on the Moon

Sally and Nick are playing hide and seek, but Nick keeps sneezing. Good thing the Cat's friend Cluey Looey will be able to help them. The Cat takes Nick and Sally to Muddyfeet Waterhole to find the Cat's friend Cluey Looey (able to help them), where they discover that Louie is having the same problem: nothing a trip inside Louie's nose can't solve. Inside a super shrunken Thingamajigger, Nick, Sally and Cat discover a dog hair which causes sneezing and what they can do to avoid it from happening.

Sneezy Riders

Nick and Sally want to keep playing, but it's getting dark. The Cat takes Nick and Sally to see Astronaut Audrey, who answers why does nighttime have to come.

No Night Today

It's too hot to play outside, not according to the Cat: The Cat's friend Hilda the hippopotamus knows all about having fun in the sun.

Fun in the Sun

Nick and Sally are wondering why their ball is so bouncy. Fish tells them because it's made from rubber, and rubber comes from trees.

Bounce

Nick and Sally hear chirping but can't find where it's coming from. If only they had better animal ears like an elephant, owl, and a fox. When the Cat is around, he takes them to meet these animals with amazing ears. Back home the kids used what they learned from their new friends to find the sound – a teeny tiny cricket.

Unlike many insects, beetles can't as a rule — take off instantly to the air. So many beetles like a stag beetle, a click beetle, and a bombardier beetle have evolved means for "buying time" when under attack.

Meet the Beetles

Luckily they soon find Tony's family and they're reunited. Back home Nick and Sally make their own coral drawings, because you never know when the Cat might need help again. The coral gets harmed by a crown-of-thorns starfish, after all, he was actually a palette surgeonfish.

How Cool Is Coral?

However, Nick's hungry tummy is rumbling, they learn our stomachs make noises when they're hungry. A super shrunken trip into Thing One's stomach will be a better look. They learn how chewing and stomach juices help to break down the food, and the tummy sounds are actually the stomach working. When your tummy is empty, the sounds are much louder.
