WINTER DANCE PARTY
Today is the Winter Solstice! It’s the shortest day of the year. Daisy’s family always celebrates the return of longer days with the Winter Solstice Dance Party, but there’s one slight problem. Daisy forgot to get ready for the party and there’s so much to do and so little time to do it! Will Daisy get the party ready for the Bunny Family to celebrate the Winter Solstice?!
ICE IS NICE
A fun-filled day of ice skating takes a turn when Nature Cat’s beloved hot cocoa Hug Mug mysteriously breaks. But wait…Ronald’s favorite Bug Mug breaks too. Who would want to break not one, but TWO mugs? Hal thinks there is a mug breaker around! Will the gang track down the Mug Breaker?
A JUMP TO REMEMBER
Nature Cat has been trying to get into the Animal Book of World Records forever, and it looks like he is down to his last chance as he tries to be the champion animal snow ski jumper. But there is just one slight problem: there is no snow on the ground on this winter’s day! He can’t snow ski jump without snow! When all seems lost, and Nature Cat’s dream seems dashed, the gang has an idea – is it possible to actually create their own snow? Tally ho!
THE GROUNDHOG WAY
It’s Groundhog Day! Today the Groundhog should tell our pals if Spring will come early or if Winter will stay around longer. But the Groundhog has a different plan this year, do nothing! He is not going to come out of his burrow to make a weather prediction! Oh no! Why? Because in the last ten years he’s been right only five times. He can’t stand the pressure and thinks it’s time for someone else to do his job. Without the Groundhog, how will anyone know if spring will come early this year? It’s up to Nature Cat to save the day, to fill in for the Groundhog and make his very own weather prediction! Wait, how is he going to do that?!
In NATURE CAT children follow Fred, a house cat who dreams of exploring the great outdoors. Once his family leaves for the day, Fred transforms into Nature Cat “a backyard explorer extraordinaire!”
