THEME SONG: It's a beautiful
day in this neighborhood,

a beautiful day for a neighbor.

Would you be mine?

Could you be mine?

It's a neighborly
day in this beauty

wood, a neighborly
day for a beauty.

Would you be mine?

Could you be mine?

I have always wanted to have
a neighbor just like you.

I've always wanted to live
in a neighborhood with you.

So let's make the most
of this beautiful day.

Since we're together, we might
as well say, would you be mine?

Could you be mine?

Won't you be my neighbor?

Won't you please, won't
you please, please

won't you be my neighbor.

-Hello, television neighbor.

Do you say that to
me-- hello, Mr. Rogers

or hello, television neighbor?

Well, we're back together again.

You know, I've been thinking
about an old car, the kind

that my grandparents had
when I was a little boy.

When I grew up, I learned
to drive that car.

Of course, when I was
little, I never drove it.

I have a picture
that I can show you

of a car that looked like it.

I remember one
day in particular.

I was old enough to drive then.

[HORN HONKS]

[HORN HONKS]

-I like to remember
happy times, don't you?

I had some really happy
times with my grandparents.

They would read to me and
show me how to do things.

I guess that's why I
like books so much.

It reminds me of the times
I had with my grandparents.

And my granddad had some tools
that I really liked to see.

I guess that's why I liked
this book the minute I saw it.

It's called "Tools"
by Ken Robbins.

Pictures of tools.

See if there are
any tools in here

that you've seen
people working with.

And here they all are together.

I remember that my
grandparents used

to love for me to ask them
to help me with things.

That's why I think I
learned so much from them.

They let me know that it
was wonderful to wonder.

I think of them when I sing
that song, "Did you know,

did you know, did you know
that it's all right to wonder?"

Let's sing that together, you
and I. [SINGING] Did you know,

did you know, did you know
that it's all right to wonder?

Did you know that it's
all right to wonder?

There are all kinds
of wonderful things.

Did you know, did
you know, did you

know that it's all
right to marvel?

Did you know that it's
all right to marvel?

There are all kinds
of marvelous things.

You can ask a lot of questions
about the world and your place

in it.

You can ask about
people's feelings.

You can learn the
sky's the limit.

Did you know, did you know,
did you know when you wonder,

you're learning?

Did you know when you marvel,
you're learning about all kinds

of wonderful, all kinds
of marvelous, marvelously

wonderful things?

Did you know that?

That when you wonder about
things, you're learning.

When you go to school, it can
really help with your learning

if you're the kind of person who
can wonder about how things are

made, and how
people are the same,

and how they're different.

Wonder what makes some people
happy and some people sad.

Not even the sky's the limit
when it comes to wondering.

We can wonder about anything.

And we can make believe
about anything too.

Let's get the trolley.

Hello, trolley.

[TROLLEY WHISTLES]

-That's one marvelous
thing about play.

So long as you don't hurt
yourself or anybody else,

you can play about anything.

Well, today, let's make believe
that Collette is getting

ready to go visit the school
where Daniel Tiger and Anna

Platypus and Prince
Tuesday study.

When she gets there,
Collette could

tell the class about her hobby.

[TROLLEY WHISTLES]

-Neighborhood of make
believe, trolley.

-You're right on time, trolley.

[TROLLEY WHISTLES]

-When's your next run?

[TROLLEY WHISTLES]

-Very good.

I see.

Have a good day.

[TROLLEY WHISTLES]

-Bye bye.

-Oh, Officer Clemmons,
s'il vous plait.

-Oh, Miss Tiger, hello.

-Oh, oui,

-How are you?

-Oh, very well, merci.

But I'm afraid that
I missed the trolley.

-Oh, it'll be back in
just a few minutes.

-Oh, ca c'est bien
because I'm going

to visit the school today.

-The school is someplace else?

-Oui.

And I am going to
go on the trolley.

-Are you going to
teach the children?

-I'm going to share
with them my hobby.

-What is your hobby?

-I make photograph
of jungle animal.

-Jungle animals.

-Oui.

Would you like to see one?

-I would.

-Oh, very good.

I have one right there.

Oui, oui, oui.

-You took this photo?

-Oh, oui.

J'aime les prendre comme ca.

-You're a very,
very brave woman.

-Well, what is your
hobby, Officer?

-My hobby is sort of my work.

I like to sing.

-Oh, of course.

Would you sing me some song?

-I'd be glad to.

A song that I'm very
fond of is, "Then

Your Heart Is Full of Love."

I'll sing that for you.

-Oh, lovely.

-[SINGING] When your heart
has butterflies inside it,

then your heart is full of love.

When your heart feels
just like overflowing,

then your heart is full of love.

Love is fragile as your tears.

Love is stronger
than your fears.

When your heart beats
for a special someone,

then your heart is full of love.

When your heart has
room for everybody,

then your heart is full of love.

-My, my what a lovely chanson.

-I'm glad that you like it too.

-Oh, oui.

-Oh, here comes your trolley.

Wait a minute, trolley.

Miss Tiger would like a ride.

-I will come and get
on over at the castle.

-I'll hold it for you.

-Oh, merci mille fois.

-Hello, Mr. Aber.

How are you?

-I'm fine, Officer Clemmons.

And yourself?

Just fine, thank you.

-I thought I heard you singing.

-Yes, I was singing
for Collette.

-Oh, how nice.

What are the words to
the middle part of that?

The part that goes,
[SINGS MELODY].

-Love is fragile as your tears.

Love is stronger
than your fears.

-[SINGING] Love is
fragile as your tears.

Love is stronger
that your fears.

-[SINGING TOGETHER] When your
heart beats for a special

someone, then your
heart is full of love.

When your heart has
room for everybody,

then your heart is full of love.

-That's nice.

-Well, I'm ready to go.

-Oh, I'm going with
you, Miss Tiger.

-Oh, that's lovely.

-The people at the
school asked me

to help you bring your pictures
and to bring some of mine

along as well.

-Oh, vous etes un
photographer aussi?

-Yes.

I understand you take pictures
of animals in the jungle.

-Oui, the wild animal.

-Well, I take pictures
of the tame ones.

That's my hobby.

-Oh, c'est magnifique.

Well, let's go then.

We're ready, trolley.

-OK, trolley can lead the way.

-Wish I could come along,
but I have my duties here.

-See you later,
Officer Clemmons.

-Oh, certainly.

Au revoir, Officer, et merci
encore pour la chanson.

-You're welcome, I'm sure.

Bye bye.

-When do you think they'll come?

-I don't know.

-They should be here
any minute now, class.

-Why are they bringing
pictures, Miss Cow?

-Because that's their
hobby, taking pictures.

-Taking pictures
of grandparents?

-No, taking pictures of
all kinds of animals.

-Oh.

-I wonder if they'll have
any platypus pictures.

-My favorite animals are
platypuses, tigers, and cows.

-That's probably because
you know us best, Tuesday.

Oh, here they come.

Remember your song, class?

-Yes.

-[SINGING TOGETHER]
Welcome to Miss Tiger.

Welcome, Mr. Aber.

We are very happy you're near.

Welcome to Miss Tiger.

Welcome, Mr. Aber.

We are very happy you're here.

-Well, thank you all very
much for that welcome.

-Oui, oui, oui.

Merci mille fois.

What a lovely school and class.

-Well, we're all looking
forward to seeing your pictures.

-Miss Tiger's pictures are the
kind we can look at anywhere,

but mine need to have a
tape machine to show them.

-Mm hm.

Well, the tape machine is all
set up, and so is an easel.

-Oh, very good.

My, this is lovely here.

Quelle belle ecole.

That means, what a
beautiful school.

Quelle belle ecole.

-Can anyone say that?

-Quelle belle ecole.

-Very good, class.

Why don't we sing those words?

-[SINGING TO THE
TUNE OF "AMERICA

THE BEAUTIFUL"]
Quelle belle ecole.

Quelle belle ecole.

Quelle belle, belle ecole.

Quelle belle ecole.

Quelle belle ecole.

Quelle belle, belle ecole.

Quelle belle ecole.

Quelle belle ecole.

Quelle belle, belle ecole.

Quelle belle ecole.

Quelle belle ecole.

Quelle belle, belle ecole.

-Very nice.

Now, why don't--
why don't we show

Miss Tiger's pictures first?

-All righty.

-Oh, of course.

All right.

All right.

Now this is a lion.

It is very big and
makes a loud roar.

-Is it a grandfather?

-Oh, I do not know, Daniel.

I did not see any
little ones with it.

-Miss Tiger?

-Yes, dear?

-You must be very brave to
take pictures of wild animals.

-Well, my ancestors
were wild tigers.

And I just pretend I am wild
and I go take the picture.

-Oh, I see.

-The next one is of giraffes.

They have very long
necks, the giraffes.

-Do you have any tiger pictures?

-Oh, yes.

Of course you're
interested you and I

because we are
tigers, of course.

TUESDAY: Oh, my.

He's a beauty.

ANNA: He looks big too.

DANIEL: I wonder if
he's a grandfather.

-Yes, as a matter
of fact, he is.

He is a great-grandfather.

-Oh, could I have that
one, that picture?

-Well, of course, my dear.

You must be very interested
in grandfather tigers.

-Thank you, very much.

I am.

-Miss Tiger?

-Yes, my dear.

-Is that a picture
of a platypus?

-Yes, it is.

I love the platypus.

They swim around so nicely.

ANNA: That looks
like my grandmother.

MISS TIGER: Oh, very nice, no?

-My grandmother
knitted the sweater

I have on and sent it to me.

MISS TIGER: Oh, well it's a
very lovely sweater, Anna.

-I think my
grandmother loves me.

-I would imagine that she would.

I would certainly be happy to
have a granddaughter like you.

-Thank you, Miss Tiger.

-Do you any pictures
of cows, Miss Tiger?

-Oh, no, Prince Tuesday.

I take pictures only of the
jungle animal, wild animal.

Cows are the tame animal.

-I have some pictures of cows.

-Oh, perhaps we could see
some of yours, Mr. Aber.

-Oh, I'd be glad to
show them to you.

Mine need this tape
machine, because they

are moving pictures.

-Uh huh.

-You see, I use a
videotape camera,

and Miss Tiger uses
a still camera.

-I see.

-That cow.

ANNA: Here comes a little
calf to see his mother.

DANIEL: Oh, look at
the pigs, a big mother

pig and the little piglets.

I love to watch animals.

ANNA: Is that a
rabbit, Mr. Aber?

MR. ABER: Yes.

It is a very big rabbit.

DANIEL: Oh, I like that cat.

It looks like a tiger.

What are those?

MR. ABER: Those are parakeets.

They're very colorful birds.

DANIEL: Ooh, they're beautiful.

ANNA: That's a beautiful horse.

I like to draw horses.

TUESDAY: I wonder where
those ducks are going.

-That was such a wonderful
treat for all of us.

Thank you very much,
Mr. Aber and Miss Tiger.

-You are very welcome.

-The pleasure was
mine, I'm sure.

-Are there, um, any more
questions for our guests

today, class?

-Oh, I would like to
ask Mr. Aber something.

-Go ahead, Daniel.

-Mr. Aber, did you ever
have a grandfather?

-Oh, yes, Daniel.

I had two grandfathers.

Everybody does.

-I never had one.

-Well, you might not have known
your grandfathers, Daniel,

but you had them.

-How do you know?

-Well, you see, everybody has
to have a father and a mother.

-Mm hm.

-So your father had a father,
and that was your grandfather.

And your mother had a father,
and that was your grandfather.

Everybody has had
two grandfathers.

-Even if I never saw them?

-Even if you never saw them,
you still had them, Daniel.

Everybody has had
two grandfathers

and two grandmothers.

-I sure wish I had them now.

-What they gave you is
inside of you, Daniel.

And nobody can ever
take that away.

-I think I understand.

Thanks, Mr. Aber.

-You're welcome, Daniel.

-This was an important
lesson, class.

I think we should talk more
about families next time.

Let's sing our thanks to
Miss Tiger and Mr. Aber.

-[SINGING TOGETHER]
Thank you to Miss Tiger.

Thank you, Mr. Aber.

We are very happy you're tame.

Thank you to Miss Tiger.

Thank you, Mr. Aber.

We are very happy you came.

-Au revoir, mes enfants.

Au revoir.

-Farewell, friends.

We're glad we came too.

-Oui.

Au revoir.

-Now, did you all understand
about grandparents?

-I think I did.

I have four grandparents,
two grandfathers

and two grandmothers.

-My daddy showed me
pictures of my grandparents,

and my great-grandparents, and
my great-great-grandparents.

-What about you, Daniel?

-I wish I had one.

-What would you call your
grandfather if you had one?

-I think I'd call him granddad.

-That's nice.

Why don't we sing up a
song about such things.

And we'll sing it
and play about it.

And that's one
thing we could do.

And we can talk about it.

Hold

-Just hold on, Reardon.

Here come some neighbors who
might have some good ideas.

Miss Tiger and Mr.
Aber, I presume.

-Correct as usual, King Friday.

-I'm speaking to
Reardon in Operaland.

I'm commissioning a new opera.

Do you have any ideas
for an appropriate theme.

-Suppose you have a
grandparent opera.

-Yes.

A grandfather for someone
who wants one very much.

-Lovely idea.

A grand opera, Reardon.

A grandfather for someone
who wants one very much.

Very good.

See you tomorrow.

Yes, I know.

Farewell.

Thank you very much.

-You're welcome.

-Now, I trust you will
be on hand to help.

-Oh, it would be an
honor, your majesty.

-Thank you for the
excellent idea.

-You're most welcome.

-Yes, trolley, you
may be in it too.

Just have a ding with
Reardon when he comes.

He always says I give
him very short notice,

but he comes up with
something most entertaining.

-You're right on
schedule, trolley.

[TROLLEY WHISTLES]

-Oh, an opera.

Grand and glorious.

-Yes.

And of course, a part
for you, officer.

-[SINGING] Of
course, your majesty.

-Oh, yes, of course.

-So they're planning to have
another opera in Make Believe.

An opera is really
singing a story.

And they've suggested to
Reardon that the story could

be something about a
grandfather for somebody

who wants one very much.

Poor Daniel Tiger wants
a granddad very much.

I'm glad he could talk
with Mr. Aber about that.

He thought he never
had any grandparents.

But as Mr. Aber told him,
everybody has grandparents,

whether you've ever
heard from them or not.

Some children have
grandparents who

live with them all the time.

And some have
grandparents who just

come to visit once in a while.

And some children
don't have grandparents

who are alive anymore.

But they can hear
stories about them

and know what kinds of
things they liked to do.

Before my grandfather
died, he used

to take me for rides
with him on his tractor.

I liked that.

My one grandmother had a little
jar of crackers in her room,

and she'd let me choose one
when I'd go to visit her.

Somehow, she always had
some when I would come.

She was a musician too.

Grandparents sometimes
have more time for children

than parents do.

Maybe that's why it's
often so much fun

to be with grandparents.

I remember something I made
once for my grandparents.

It was a frame for a
picture that I had.

What I did was just to fold
a piece of paper in half.

And then cut like this.

And it looked like
a heart, that frame,

because the heart
came from there.

I like that song so much.

[SINGING] When you heart
has butterflies inside it,

then your heart is full of love.

When your heart feels
just like overflowing,

then your heart is full of love.

Love is fragile as your tears.

Love is stronger
than your fears.

When your heart beats
for a special someone,

then your heart is full of love.

When your heart has
room for everybody,

then your heart is full of love.

It's a wonderful feeling when
you know that people love you.

You're certainly somebody
that people can love.

Doesn't that give
you a good feeling?

[SINGING] It's such a good
feeling to know you're alive.

It's such a happy feeling.

You're growing inside.

And when you wake
up ready to say,

I think I'll make
a snappy today,

it's such a good feeling,
a very good feeling.

The feeling you know that I'll
be back when the day is new,

and I'll have more
ideas for you.

And you'll have things
you'll want to talk about.

I will too.

I was just thinking,
when children are loved

by their parents
and grandparents,

then those children
begin to love back again.

People can love you
exactly as you are.

I'll be back next time.

Bye.
