- Hi, neighbor! See my drum?

I'm pretending
I'm in a marching band!

(chuckling)
March! March!

One, two, three!
March! March! March with me!

Let's play my drum too.

Drum... Hey,

where is my drumstick?

Do you see it?

I can't find it.

Hmm...

Let's look in the kitchen.

- Whooo pop!
(baby cooing)

- Drumstick? Hmm!

- Huh?
- Maybe this could be

my drumstick!
Boom! Boom! Boom!

This is a grr-ific drumstick!
(baby crying)

- Daniel, I think
Margaret is upset

because you took
the spoon she was using.

- But I'm using it
for my drumstick!

I need it
to play my drum!

- I understand, but Margaret
was playing with it first.

How would you feel
if someone took

something from you
without asking first?

Sorry, Margaret.
(Margaret cooing)

(Margaret giggling)
Hmmm...

I still need a drumstick.

Margaret, I'm asking you,

is it OK if I play
with your spoon?

- No!

- No? Oh...
Umm, OK. Hmm...

I guess I can find something
else to be my drumstick.

Do you see anything
I could use to play my drum?

Hey! How about that? Hmm...

♪ Stop and ask if it's OK ♪

Dad, is it OK if I use
that for my drumstick?

- My whisk? Sure,
I'm not using it.

(Dad Tiger laughing)
March! March! One, two, three!

- March! March! March with me!
Thanks, Dad.

I like how this sounds!

Do you want to be
in the band too?

Let's march!

March! March!

One, two, three!

March! March!

(knocking sound)

Did you hear that?
It sounded like...

(drumming sound)

(knocking sound)
- Daniel!

Oh, Daniel!
- Oh! It's Jodi!

- Well, hi, Jodi!

- Hi! Can you come over to play,
Daniel? Nana says it's OK!

- Can I play next door, Dad?
- Yeah, sure!

- Grr-ific!
Wanna play marching band?

I have a drum, see?
And you can play

my... tambourine!

Let's march to my house!

- OK. I hope everyone is hungry
because I made my pan-pans!

- Yay!

carrot sticks to go with them.

- Mmm! I love carrots
because they're so... crunchy!

Oh, I don't have
any more carrots.

There's another carrot.
- Mine!

(crying)
- Uh oh, Teddy's crying!

- Mine! Mine!

- Jodi, is that
your carrot?

- Well... it was
on Teddy's plate.

- You took it from Teddy?
- I wanted more carrots,

and he wasn't eating his!
- You need to ask if it's OK

before you take something
that's not yours, Jodi.

another carrot!

Hmm... Nana, can I have
one of your carrots, please?

- Thank you for asking, Jodi.
