The first season has 40 half - hour episodes. PBS Kids renewed it for a second season of 20 episodes which premiered on September 10, 2012. A 20 episode third season is currently in development. Each episode features The Cat in the Hat ( voiced by Martin Short ), who leads six - year - old neighbours Nick and Sally, the Fish, and Thing One and Thing Two on a variety of adventures in his `` Thinga - ma - jigger '', a Seussian contraption that can sprout wings, pontoons, booster rockets, change size, and do just about anything else necessary to further the adventure. The adventures are prompted by a question posed by either Nick or Sally at the beginning of each episode, which will inevitably lead them around the globe to `` make natural science discoveries. '' Similar to other PBS Kids series such as Curious George and Sid the Science Kid, The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That ! focuses on introducing preschoolers to various science and learning concepts.
