I hope your preschooler is ready. Today is the premiere of the first ever Cat in the Hat Knows A Lot About Christmas on PBS. Today’s one hour special will help your family get into the Christmas spirit. My daughter loves Nick and Sally’s adventures as they learn about science and the world around them–with help from the Cat in the Hat of course!
This adventure finds the Cat in the Hat, Nick and Sally on a journey around the world to help a lost reindeer find his way home to Freezeyourknees Snowland in time for Christmas. On the way, the Thinga-ma-jigger breaks down, and they depend on a variety of animals – from African bush elephants to bottlenose dolphins to red crabs – and their remarkable abilities to help them make an amazing journey home.
The team’s unexpected stops makes a fun but silly ride that will keep your kids entertained. If you miss Cat in the Hat Knows A Lot About Christmas today, don’t worry. There will be encore presentations throughout Thanksgiving weekend and in December (check local listings) on PBS Kids.
Along with the one hour special, there’s a new game on PBS Kids, Freezeyourknees, Follow Me, Please! In this game, your child will learn about animal science and help Freezeyourknees find his way home and to his family.
The kids had me make some popcorn before we sat down to enjoy our sneak peek of The Cat in the Hat Knows A Lot about Christmas. I have no doubt they’ll ask to see it again over the Thanksgiving weekend.
