The Cat In The Hat Knows A Lot About Halloween! Page #2

I don't know about that.

Aah!

Aah!

Don't you love bats?

They're so batty!

Bats?

Whoops, I think

we startled them.

Don't worry, Nick.

Bats are really good

at flying around things,

and flying around

people too.

They are? Whew.

Batty bats are so Halloweeny.

Let's follow

these flappy fliers.

Maybe they'll lead us

to the closet.

It looks pretty dark

and scary in there.

Bats might be good

at not bumping into things,

but we need to turn on a light

to see where we're going.

Good thinking.

Sometimes, places and things

seem scary

for a good reason.

But no one needs to be

afraid of the dark

with my super glow-glow

miner hats.

You mean it's good

to be frightened sometimes?

Fear can be

a dependable friend.

It alerts us and helps us

keep away from dangerous things,

so we don't get hurt.

Hey, this glow-glow

keeps flickering.

Your hat would flicker too if

it was filled with fireflies.

Come on.

Gee, even with lights,

this creepy place

is creepy.

We could dress up

in glow-glow hats for Halloween

and go home now.

Glow-glow hats

are pretty neat.

But wait until you see

the ooky-makooky closet.

I don't think

it's here, Cat.

And our glow

is starting to go.

The fireflies

must be getting sleepy.

What if the lights go out

and there are monsters in here?

You mean ones that only come out

in the dark?

What great imaginations

you have.

I've seen many things

and I've been many places.

I've met creatures and teachers

of all kinds and races.

But I have never

met a monster.

Not any?

Not one.

There are no monsters here.

No question, no way.

Then what's making

that noise?

Monsters!

Let's shed some light

on this mystery.

Here's your monster.

My old friend, Bruno Bear,

who gets very sleepy

around this time of year.

Gee, I guess our minds just

made up all that scary stuff.

Oh, he's so cuddly.

Cat, is it time to put on

my Halloween costume?

Uh, ahem, there's no rush.

I've been tucked in

my with teddy bear before,

but I've never tucked in

a real teddy bear.

Well, clearly

the ooky-makooky closet

is not in here.

Shh.

I told Cat that I had

things to do.

But I didn't say what.

Time for another

Halloween trick.

We'll see who's

a scaredy cat.

Oh, hi.

Did you find it?

The ooky-makooky closet

must be someplace else.

Oh, what's this?

Search me.

What could it be?

What could it be?

Let's see, let's see.

"Happy Halloween

to the Cat in the Hat."

How marvellous.

Open it. Go ahead.

A big, scary spider!

It's hard not to giggle.

Those scary legs tickle.

Oh, I guess the Cat's

not frightened

of big, scary

spiders either.

Ah, more twisty path ahead.

Maybe the ooky-makooky closet

is this way.

Howdy, folks.

Welcome to my corn maze.

Imagine that.

A maze cut out

of a field of corn.

How Halloweeny.

Halloweeny enough to find the

ooky-makooky closet inside?

Pardon me, sir,

but is there a closet in there?

Hmm. There are lots of twists

and turns, but a closet?

A twisty, turny place

sounds like a fun place to be.

Let's go see, let's go see!

Okay, okay.

Stay close to me, kids.

Twist and turn,

and turn and twist.

Boo!

Isn't this corn maze "amazing"?

Hello.

Can you tell me the way

to the ooky-makooky closet?

Is it this way or that?

That's not a person, Cat.

A scarecrow's head

is full of straw.

They're for scaring away

crows and other birds

that eat crops.

Hmm, not very scary.

But then, I'm not a bird.

I'm a cat.

A Cat in the Hat.

And I always know

which way to turn.

We're sure to find

the ooky-makooky closet

just around the next turn.

Uh-oh.

Did I say this turn?

I was... so wrong.

I meant the next one.

That old dog was right.

This is the twistiest,

turniest,

corny corniest

amazing maze ever.

Hello, hello.

Good to see you again.

No, it isn't.

It means we're going

in circles.

Which means...

Oh, no. We're lost.

Don't worry.

We may have lost our way,

but we've not lost

each other.

We'll find a way out.

I sure hope we do,

or we'll miss Halloween.

Halloween?

What if we never get out?

The corn's much too high

to see over.

When you're lost in a maze

and don't know what to do,

who better to call

than Thing 1 and Thing 2?

Hello!

Hello!

That whistle means

just one thing.

The Cat in the Hat

needs your help.

Go, Things, go!

Whoo-hoo! Yeah!

Ooh.

Hello!

Hello!

What's that? You're looking

for someone big and tall,

with whiskers and a hat?

Yeah, yeah!

I won't leave you

twisting and turning.

He went in there

with two friends.

Didn't come out,

though.

Poor Mom and Dad.

They're going to miss me

so much.

Cheer up, Nick.

I think we're about

to be found.

Over here!

Go-go jumpers.

How cleaver.

Awesome!

Hmm? Golly willickers.

When we jump up high,

we can see our way out.

Race you, Sally.

Golly.

Gee whiz.

Wahoo!

Yeah!

Getting lost is no fun.

But getting unlost

is fun-tastic.

And when

you're frightened,

it never hurts to call

someone you trust

to come

and help you out.

Did you folks find

what you were looking for?

The ooky-makooky closet

is not in the corn maze.

But we're much closer

to finding it.

We are?

Most certainly!

Now we know two places

it's not.

To the Thingamajigger.

Two down, and every other

fun place to go.

Aren't you a bit scared

we might not find

the ooky-makooky closet

in time for Halloween?

Nothing scares me.

I'm the Cat in the Hat!

We'll see about that.

Time for my next

Halloween trick.

Hello? Hello.

Cat speaking.

Aah!

Sorry, wrong number.

There are no monsters here.

But here's something

for you.

Aah!

Hold on to your hats,

everyone.

Looks like things are going

to get bumpy and boo-y!

Huh?

Aah!

Cat, you know how some frights

are fun?

Uh-huh.

And how some keep you safe

or remind you to ask for help?

Uh-huh.

Well, this one feels like

a warning to go home!

Cat, Nick finds thunder

very, very frightening.

Things we don't know about

Can seem very scary

So very, very wary

Make us feel frightened

But you'll soon discover

when I tell you

Thunderstorms

are electrifying

Flishy-flash-flash

Rumble, bang, boom

Boom

Flishy-flash-flash

Rumble, bang, boom

Boom

Flishy-flash-flash

Rumble, bang, boom

Boom

Flash goes some lightning,

followed by a boom

Rattle up your windows

and shake up your room

But it's all part

of the amazing way

The thunder and lightning

like to play

Here's a little rain cloud

about to pop.

Pop.

It's a force of nature

you cannot stop.

Boom

Bang

Rumble

Bright bolts of lightning

shoot out of the blue

But that's not all

those blue flashers do

They release energy

when there's a bundle

And that's why

some rain clouds

Go boom, bang, rumble

Flishy-flash-flash

Rumble, bang, boom

Boom

Flishy-flash-flash

Rumble, bang, boom

Boom

Flishy-flash-flash

Rumble, bang, boom

Boom

Boomer-boom

bang-bang

Rumble, bang, boom

Boom

That was great.

Thunder can't hurt me.

It's only rumble and boom.

And without lightning around,
