Synopsis: A messy house and a rained-out picnic are reasons to celebrate at The Cat's Playhouse. Along with feathery pal Terence McBird, the Cat in the Hat hosts three 23-minute shows aimed at turning frowns upside-down. Each rollicking episode begins in Cat's kaleidoscopic playhouse, where a kooky Wubbulouscope whisks viewers off to storytime. These humorous tales nicely reinforce Cat's positive messages: cleaning day just needs a good song to lighten the work; a perfect picnic site is "anywhere there's fun, friends, and food;" and patience is oft rewarded.
