Tigertastic! Let's go!

- Wait. Where are we going?

- Hahahaha! Oh, I have
a couple of places in mind.

How about I give you a hint
about where we're going first?

- Ooh, OK. I love hints!

- Alright, the first place
we're going

is sunny and has sand.

Oh, and lots of seashells!

- Hmm... can you think
of a place

that's sunny, has sand

and lots of seashells?

(gasping)
The beach!

Are we going to play
at Jungle Beach, Dad?

- Hahaha! Yes!
Jungle Beach!

- Hurray! Yes!

We can look
for seashells together.

Maybe we'll even find
another tiger seashell.

They have orange stripes. Look.
(Daniel chuckling)

I'm Super Daniel

searching for tiger seashells!

(Daniel chuckling)

(gasping)
I think Super Daniel sees one.

It's orange...
but are there stripes?

No. It's an orange rock,

not a tiger seashell.

- Super Dad zooming in!

Zoom!
(both laughing)

And look! I think
I found something... Hahaha!

♪♪
- Look, I see...

Is it a tiger seashell?
- Maybe...

No, it's a ball of seaweed.

(sighing)
- We haven't found

any tiger seashells
for our collection.

the beach today, Daniel, but...

Let's go see some neighbors.
♪♪

- Hi, I'm Janae. I'm gonna go
see how people make wagons.

(loud machine noises)
This is my kind of wagon.

Why is it so loud in here?!

- Because it takes
big equipment, big motors

to buff up all this lumber.
And I have to put these

on you to keep the sawdust
out of your eyes.

And that will help
with the sounds.

♪♪

We have these pieces of wood
that we put

those pockets on here.
It is to hold these side rails

of the wagon.

Those slide in there.
That is the side of a wagon.

Benjamin, he's my brother,

we've worked together for
years, he's gonna show you

how this is done.
♪♪

Try to pull it off.

Now, we're ready to paint.

We take these racks.
We put 'em in there.

They float because it's wood.
You have to push it down.

What does that look like?
- A rollercoaster.

- Looks like a rollercoaster!
It goes all the way around

until it comes back over here.

And then it's down
and it's dry, ready to use.

Now, we're gonna assemble it.

I'll hold it
and you do the hammering.

Good job!
- Thanks for coming

with me, neighbor. Bye!
♪♪

- I like these visits with you.

♪♪

Hi, neighbor!
My mom's going to be home

from work soon.
I can't wait to play with her!

Hmmm... I don't see her.

Come inside!

(baby giggling)

Mom's not home yet.

She's still at her job -

fixing and building things.
- She should be home soon.

- And then she said
we can play together!

(door opening)

Mom's home! Mom's home!

- Hello, my Tiger family!
I'm home from work!

- Mom!
- Hi, sweetheart!

- Mama! Hmm...
(Mom Tiger chuckling)

- I missed you.

my fix-it tiger.

- Mom, remember when you said
we would play together?

Hey, what's this?
- Let's see.

Oh, yeah.

That's my old wagon
from when I was a little tiger.

Aw, I used to love
riding around in it!

- Whoa!
- Vroom!

(Daniel chuckling)

- Uh-oh!
(chuckling)

I've been meaning to fix it up
for you and Margaret,

but I haven't had the time.

Can we fix it up... together?

and see if it works.

- We can do it.
- Hey,

this looks better already!

We'll have to fix this axle

and tighten it up
so the wheels work again.

And I think I have
just the tool!

It's Tigey, the Adventure Tiger!

and I'm also an artist.

Today, I'm finishing
a special painting

that takes up the whole wall.

I'm almost done. Mmm-hmm.

A lot of my patients love
Tigey, the Adventure Tiger.

Hmmm... I think
it should be pink.

(brief humming)

Hey, I don't have
any pink paint,

so I need to make some.

I can mix two colors
to make a new color.

I'm gonna mix
some white paint - mmm-hmm -

to the red paint.

I swirl them together

and that makes pink.

That's my favorite color.

(humming)

There. Now, it just needs
the brush part.

And I want that to be green.

I don't have any green paint,

so I'm gonna add
this yellow paint...

♪ Tatam ♪
...to the blue paint.

Just swirl them together
to make... green!

Isn't that neat? Haha!

will like it too.

likes to paint.
