Felix wears a blue hoodie over a striped shirt in front of a building with text that reads, tvokids presents.

Felix asks, IS THERE A DOCTOR
IN THE HOUSE?

In a window of the building, Annie wears a pink dress.

Annie says, YES AND HE'S A MOUSE.

In a window above Annie, Dr. Cheddar wears a stethoscope. He waves.

A narrator says, YOU’LL FEEL BETTER WITH DR. CHEDDAR.

Text on the building reads, Dr. Cheddar.

OUT THERE TODAY, ANNIE.

Annie wipes her forehead.

She says, YEAH. I THOUGHT
WE WERE GONNA MELT.

Felix says, PHEW.

Annie says, YOU KNOW WHO MIGHT HAVE A
GREAT WAY FOR US TO COOL OFF?

Annie says, YEP!

Felix says, COME ON, LET'S GO CALL HIM.

Dr. Cheddar answers a call on his tablet.

He says, DR. CHEDDAR HERE TO
HELP YOU FEEL BETTER.

In a video call, Felix says, HI DR. C.

Felix and Annie are at their kitchen table.

Dr. Cheddar says, OH, HELLO, FELIX. HI ANNIE.
OH, I HOPE THIS HEAT WAVE
HASN'T GOT YOU TOO BOILED, HA-HA

Annie says, THAT'S WHY WE'RE CALLING YOU.

Felix says, I EVEN LOST MY APPETITE
AND THAT NEVER HAPPENS.

Dr. Cheddar says, CHEESE AND CRUMPETS!
WELL, I'M USING THIS
FUNKY LITTLE DESK FAN
TO HELP KEEP ME COOL.
DO YOU HAVE ONE?

Felix and Annie look at each other. They shake their heads.

Felix says, NUH UH! WE DON'T.

Dr. Cheddar says, WELL, THAT'S OKAY.
THERE ARE LOTS OF OTHER
WAYS YOU CAN BEAT THE HEAT
ON A SIZZLING SUMMER'S DAY.

Annie fills a bottle with water from the sink.

Dr. Cheddar narrates, FILLING A SPRAY BOTTLE WITH
WATER IS A GREAT WAY TO
SPURT OUT SOME REFRESHING
CLOUDS OF COOL MIST.

Annie sprays Felix with water.

Felix says, COOL AND MISTY.

Annie asks, DO YOU WANT SOME MORE?

Felix says, MH-MM.

He nods. Annie sprays Felix with more water.

Dr. Cheddar narrates, OR FOR SOMETHING MORE
RELAXING, TRY A CLOTH SOAKED
IN COLD WATER OVER YOUR
EYES AND BEHIND YOUR NECK.

Felix and Annie relax on the couch, each with a cloth over their eyes.

Felix says, OH YEAH.

Dr. Cheddar narrates, AND FINALLY, MY
FAVORITE WAY TO CHILL OUT?
JUST GRAB A BOWL OF ICE AND A
FAN AND LET THE COOL AIR FLOW!

Annie and Felix stand on opposite sides of a bowl of ice. Felix fans the ice.

He asks, LIKE THIS?

Dr. Cheddar says, IT'LL FEEL LIKE AN
ARCTIC VACATION IN NO TIME.

Annie shivers.

She says, WELL, I NEED MY JACKET.

[Annie shivering]

In the kitchen, Annie wears a winter jacket.

Felix says, THANKS DR. C

Dr. Cheddar fans himself.

Annie says, YOU FORGOT THE MOST
IMPORTANT WAY TO STAY.
COOL. DRINK LOTS OF WATER.

She and Felix each hold a cup of water.

Dr. Cheddar says, YOU ARE RIGHT, ANNIE.

IS ALWAYS IMPORTANT
BUT ESPECIALLY ON
HOT DAYS LIKE TODAY.
EXCUSE ME A MOMENT.

He leaves his desk.
