One day, Cat and his friends were having a fun time together. But something strange happened. Cat’s friend started sneezing a lot! They thought it might be because of Cat, but they decided to investigate further.
When they got back home, Cat’s friend was still sneezing. They wondered if it was something in Cat’s hat that was causing the sneezes. Cat had five cool things in his hat, so they decided to check each one.
First, they checked a marble and a yo-yo. No sneezes! Then, they tried two crackers. Still no sneezes! They realized they had checked four things, but there was one more to go—a four-leaf clover.
When they checked the clover, there were no sneezes either. They remembered that the sneezing started when they were inside a whale, and the clover was not with them then. So, it wasn’t the clover either!
By using math and checking each item, they figured out that none of the things in Cat’s hat were causing the sneezes. They learned that math can help solve problems, and it’s not something to sneeze at!
Later, Cat’s friend wanted to open a present but couldn’t find Cat. They could hear Cat but couldn’t see him anywhere. They looked all around—behind, next to, and even underneath—but no Cat!
Then, an acorn fell from above and hit Cat’s friend. They realized Cat was up in a tree! Cat had dropped the acorn to let them know where he was. What a clever Cat!
Cat’s friend promised to help him down from the tree. They worked together, and soon Cat was safely back on the ground. Cat was grateful and knew he could always count on his friend.
Cat’s friend sang a happy song about always being there to help. Whether it’s pushing an elephant or getting swallowed by a whale, they promised to be there for each other. They knew they could always count on each other, no matter what!
At the end of their adventure, they remembered to thank the giants for their wonderful gift, which helped them get Cat out of the tree. They shouted a big “Thank you, giant!” and felt grateful for their amazing day.
And so, Cat and his friends learned about solving problems, helping each other, and being thankful. What a fun and exciting day it was!
Item Investigation: Just like Cat and his friends checked the items in the hat, you can do your own investigation at home! Gather five small items from around your house. Ask a family member to hide one item while you close your eyes. Then, use your math skills to figure out which item is missing by checking each one. Can you solve the mystery?
Math Detective Game: Play a game where you become a math detective! Ask a friend or family member to think of a number between 1 and 10. You can ask up to five questions to figure out the number, but they can only answer with “yes” or “no.” Use your math skills to narrow down the possibilities and guess the number. Can you solve the mystery like Cat and his friends?
Thank You Tree: Just like Cat and his friends thanked the giants, create a “Thank You Tree” at home. Draw a big tree on a piece of paper and cut out leaf shapes from colored paper. Write something you are thankful for on each leaf and stick them on the tree. Share your tree with your family and talk about why it’s important to be thankful.

[Music]
What are you doing here? Sitting on a bird? You didn’t run away from home.
Why would I choose? Oh right, I make you sick.
You make me great, Cat, as long as I’m with you.
But just the same, let’s get out of here.
[Music]
Ah, home again, safe and… I’m still sneezing.
Seems to me that you’re sneezing more now. Maybe you’re not allergic to Cat, but to something you’ve been near since you got back.
All I’ve done since I got back is put my five cool things back in my hat.
Let’s see if you’re allergic to any of those five things.
Why bother? We all know it’s me.
You couldn’t be allergic to a marble or a yo-yo.
It’s not those two things. How about my two hat crackers?
Come on, crackers make her sneeze.
No sneeze.
Those first few things plus the two crackers is five, so none of the things in my hat make me sneeze. Who could that be?
[Music]
We should take a deep breath and count backwards from five to calm down.
Five, four, three, two, one. Huh?
Something’s weird there. You’re right, Cat. Two plus two equals four, not five.
That equation is a mistake. We checked four things, but there are five things in my hat, so we still need to check this four-leaf clover.
I’m counting on you, clover.
Again, I don’t feel… Eddie?
[Music]
I am the… it’s all over, clover.
I’m sniffing you and I’m not sneezing.
But wait, when I sneezed inside the whale, my clover was still in the bathroom.
Remember that clover chain I was wearing inside the whale? That’s right!
So by knowing how to add and learn from mistakes, we stop my sneezing. Math isn’t anything to sneeze at.
[Music]
Opening a present just isn’t fun without a certain bluish purplish furry squishy someone.
Okay, I wonder where he is.
I can hear him, but I can’t see him.
Did Cat turn invisible? Where are you, Cat?
I don’t know. Uh-oh, no one knows where Cat is, and that’s a big problem.
I hear Cat, so he has to be near.
Cat’s not behind me, and he’s not next to me either.
He’s not on this side or this side.
Cat’s not underneath me.
Oh, Caterpillar, what do I do? Cat’s vanished.
And how does that make you feel?
Ouch, I’m sorry it hurts.
No, this acorn just fell on me from above.
Above is Cat, above me it is!
You amazing Cat, you dropped an acorn on me on purpose!
I did, I mean, I did.
Alright, we found Cat, and so problem solved.
The problem is solved; we solved the problem.
Problem solved!
Hey Cat, how’d you get up in that tree anyway?
A tree? Is that where I am? Well, that explains a lot.
Cat really should pay more attention to what he’s doing.
Don’t you worry, Cat, I’ll get you down from that tree in no time.
[Music]
Thanks for helping me down from the tree.
No problem, Cat, you can always count on me.
Always, uh-huh.
If you’re visiting the zoo and an elephant sits on you, don’t you stay smushed under his tush.
Give me a call and I’ll give him a push.
You can count on me.
[Music]
Yes, you can count on me.
If I’m going for a sail and I’m swallowed by a whale…
[Music]
When you’re in trouble, I’ll be there on the double.
Feeling blue, I’m the one, two, three for you.
You can count on me.
[Music]
I bet the giants never thought we’d use their present to get me out of a tree.
We owe them a big thank you.
More like a giant thank you!
Yeah, like thank you, giant!
We really like the gifts.
You’re welcome.
[Music]
