Daniel: Hi Neighbor!

It's me, Daniel Tiger.

I just got to school.

Come inside!

Teacher Harriet: Come on over
for Circle Time!

Daniel: Circle time!

O The Owl:
I'll sit here, hoo hoo!

Prince Wednesday:
Yeah, here!

Daniel: Look! Someone new

is sitting next to
Teacher Harriet.

I wonder who it is?

Teacher Harriet: Class,
I want you to meet Max.

Max is my nephew,
which means I'm his aunt!

Prince Wednesday:
You're an aunt?

Teacher Harriet: Yes!
I'm a teacher and an aunt!

Max is visiting me,

so I wanted him to
meet all of you.

Kids: (talking and chattering)

Teacher Harriet:
You know what, class?

That's too loud for Max.

It's okay Max.

I know what might help.

Prince Wednesday, could
you bring me that blanket?

Prince Wednesday:
Sure!

Whoa!

Why is this blanket so heavy?

Teacher Harriet: Sometimes,
Max likes a heavy blanket,

like this.

It makes him feel like he's
getting a nice cozy hug.

Daniel: But why does
Max need it?

Are you cold?

Katerina Kittycat: Are
you sleepy, meow meow?

Teacher Harriet:
No. Max is autistic,

which means that
some things about him

are different than you.

Like the way he calms down.

Now that you're
feeling calmer, Max,

ready to show them our book?

Max: That's my book!

Teacher Harriet: I've told
Max about each of you

and we made this book
together called

"Max Visits School."

Let's read it together,

so you can learn
more about him.

Max is a new friend.

He is visiting school today.

He's going to meet new friends.

Max: Daniel Tiger,

O The Owl,

Katerina Kittycat,

Prince Wednesday,

Jodi Platypus,

Miss Elaina.

Kids: Wow! Hey! That's me!

Teacher Harriet:
Max needs quiet voices.

Loud sounds
bother his ears.

Miss Elaina: Well,
we're not being too loud!

Teacher Harriet:
Everyone is different.

Something that might
sound okay to you,

might be too
loud for Max.

♪ When a friend needs
different things than you, ♪

♪ there are some
things you can do. ♪

Miss Elaina:
What can we do?

Teacher Harriet: If you see Max
cover his ears, it means

it's a little
too loud for him.

And you can move back

to give him
some more space,

and talk in a soft voice.

Right Max?

Let's keep reading.

Max likes to have his own space.

He needs time before he's ready
to play with new friends.

Max likes to share the things
he's interested in

like buses...

and bugs!

Max: Bugs!

That's a roly-poly bug!

Roly-poly bugs
roll up into a ball

when they feel scared.

Daniel: Really?

I saw a roly-poly
bug one time!

Max, where are you going?

Miss Elaina:
Can he come back?

I want Max to tell us
more about bugs.

Prince Wednesday:
Me too!

Teacher Harriet: Max needs
time to get comfortable

in our classroom.

I'm going to let Max
look out the window

while we finish up
Circle Time.

Max and his new friends
have a great day at school.

The end.

And now, it's Choice Time.

Daniel: Tigertastic!
O: Let's play, Hoo hoo!

Katerina/Jody: ...Choice Time!

Daniel: Where's Max?

I want to play with him.

Ooh, Max is in the Block Corner.

Maybe we can build together!

Hi Max!

Can I play with you?

I know.

We can build something tall!

A castle!

♪ (playful music) ♪

Max? Do you want to
help me build a castle?

Do you want to
play with me, Max?

Why isn't Max answering me?

Teacher Harriet:
Well, Daniel.

Sometimes he needs more time
to understand the question

and decide how to answer.

Let's give him some time.

Max: I like buses.

I like city buses

and school buses

and double-decker buses.

Daniel: Oh! I like
playing buses too!

But, I'm not
playing buses now,

I'm building a castle!

My castle is right there.

I made a pointy roof. See?

Max: Double-decker bus.

I like to sit on the top.

Daniel: Why does Max
keep talking about buses?

I want him to play
castle with me!

Teacher Harriet:
Sometimes when Max is

really excited
about something,

he only wants to talk
about that one thing.

Daniel: Oh, but...

if Max just wants
to talk about buses,

does that mean he
can't play with me?

I really want to play with him.

Well, I like building,

and Max likes buses.

So, maybe instead of
building a castle,

I could build
a bus station!

Teacher Harriet:
Give it a try!

Daniel: Here's where
all the buses can come in.

More blocks!

Vroom-vroom,
beep-beep!

In to--

--the garage!

City buses,

school buses,

double-decker buses--

Hey, do you want to
make-believe with me?

Let's make-believe that we're
riding on all kinds of buses!

Wasn't that grr-ific?

Max: Bus , coming
into the station.

Right on schedule.

Daniel: Max does
want to play with me!

Ok bus, you can
park in this spot!

Max: Bus in spot !

Bus coming
into the station.

Daniel: Right on schedule!

Garage door opening!

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Oh oh!

Katerina: Hi Daniel!

Would you like to come to
our tea party, meow meow?

O The Owl: We're going to have
tea and snacks, Hoo hoo.

Daniel: Sure, I'll come!

Katerina: Oh, goody.

Come on, meow meow!

Daniel: Wait! You
forgot to invite Max.

Katerina: Oh, I thought Max
only wants to play buses?

But, maybe he wants
to play tea party too.

Hi Max.

We're having
a tea party...

and we want
you to come!

O The Owl: You
can come later.

Or now. Or later.

Hoo hoo!

Daniel: I'll wait for you
ok, Max?

I like playing
buses with you.

Go go go!

Christopher and Gabriel

were born on the same day!

They play together.

And laugh together.

It's me, Daniel Tiger!

Look at what I made.

It's a tiger clock, see?

My dad helped me make it,
because today is...

Dad Tiger/Daniel:
Neighborhood Clock Day!

Dad Tiger: Oh boy,
I can't wait to show you

the new clock I made
for Chime Time.

Daniel: A new clock?

Dad Tiger: Yup!

Nobody's ever seen it.

Except for me.

Daniel: Wooow!

I wonder what kind
of clock it is?

Maybe a cuckoo clock,

with a little bird

that comes out and says

Cuckoo! Cuckoo!

(giggles)

Heeeey,

do you want to
make-believe with me?

Let's make-believe

that we could play
inside a cuckoo clock!

Hi Max!

say 'hi' back to me.

Daniel: Wow!

Max: I want to see
all the clocks

at the Clock Factory.

Teacher: Max has never been
to the Clock Factory before,

or seen Chime Time,

so this will
be new for him.

Trolley: (ding ding)
Daniel: Thanks, Trolley!

Dad Tiger: Wow!

So many neighbors
are already here!

I guess it's time to start!

Daniel: Tigertastic!

Dad Tiger: Welcome everyone to

Neighborhood Clock Day!

Come on inside,
and we'll begin

our special Chime Time!

Elaina: I'm so so
so excited!

Daniel, Look!

My rocket ship
clock is ready to...

blast off!

Prince Wednesday: Hi Max.
Wanna see the clock I made?

Max: Oh. A rock clock.

Prince Wednesday:
Rock clock...Rock clock!

Hey! That rhymes!

Max: Rock clock.
Tick tock.

Rock clock.
Tick tock.

Max/Daniel/Prince W:
Rock clock! Tick tock!

Max: Rock clock!

Tick tock!

Daniel: (giggles)

I'm glad Max is here
for Chime Time!

Max...

You can give your
bus clock to my dad,

and he'll hang
it up for you.

Max: My clock.

Daniel: Dad! Max didn't
hang up his clock yet!

Max: My clock.

Dad Tiger:
Well, that's okay.

It doesn't look like
Max wants his clock

hung up on the wall,
Daniel.

Daniel:
But...why not?

Teacher Harriet: Sometimes when
Max is trying something new,

he needs to
take more time

until he feels
comfortable.

Something we can do is let
him hold onto his clock,

until he decides he's
ready to hang it up.

Dad Tiger: Take as much
time as you need, Max.

Ok!

Is everybody ready
for Chime Time?

Kids: Yay! I am!

Teacher Harriet: Oop, here
are your headphones, Max.

Miss Elaina: Ooh!

Can I have a turn with
the headphones too?

Teacher Harriet: No, we
can't take turns with these.

Max needs them in case

Chime Time is too
loud for him.

They make things quieter.

Elaina: But the loud sounds
are what make Chime Time

so so so fun!

But not to Max.

it's chime time!!

Daniel: Oooh!
Elaina: (giggles)

Chime time!

Daniel: Max, look!

All of the clocks
are chiming,

and the lights
are so pretty!

Max: No, no, no...

Elaina: I love love love
how blink-y they are!

Max: No, no, no...

No, no, no!

Daniel: Is Max ok?

Doesn't he like
Chime Time?

Max, look at
all the clocks!

You love clocks!

Teacher Harriet:
The bright blinking lights

might be a little
too much for Max.

Dad Tiger: Ohh.
Let me help with that.

Teacher Harriet: We're going
to take a break outside.

C'mon, Max.

Daniel: Max isn't going
to get to see the new clock,

and he loves clocks!

I wish Max could
still do Chime Time.

Dad Tiger: I think
the bright lights

and loud sounds
upset him.

Max needs things to
be a little calmer.

breathe out.

Max: (exhales)

Daniel: Max...
are you ok?

Max: Clocks...

I want to see
the clocks.

Dad Tiger: What would you
think about doing a

different kind of
Chime Time?

Without the bright
blinking lights.

I even have a
special chime

we can ring
ourselves.

Teacher Harriet: Ohhh.

That way you can
make it as loud

or as soft
as you want!

Come on, Max.

We can do Chime Time
a different way!
