Hi, neighbor!

I'm... Teacher Harriet!
Welcome to school!

- Hello, neighbor.
Are you pretending to be me?

- Yup, I was pretending
to be you, Teacher Harriet!

- Well then, I'll pretend
to be Daniel Tiger.

Grrr! I'm big and strong!

(Daniel giggles.)
- I like pretending.

Do you?

- Well, I'm glad
you like pretending

because I have
a surprise to share...

- A surprise? What is it?

- I'm going to bring
something special

to the dress up
corner. Come see!

- Let's go see what it is!

Zoom! Hi, friends!

- (kids): Hi, Daniel!
- Ribbet! Ribbet!

- Hiya, toots!
(Harriet laughing)

- There!

- Why did you put this box here?

- Hmm, this looks
like a box to you?

- Uh-huh...
- It looks like a box

to me too, Teacher Harriet!
- Are you sure?

- Hoo-hoo! It's a box!
I'm sure it's a box!

It looks just like
the picture on my box book!

- Hmmm... Well, I think,

if you pretend,
this box can be anything

that you want it to be!

♪ When you pretend,
you can be anything ♪

- It is a box.

Just like in
my box book. Hoo-hoo!

- Daniel, what do you think
this box could be?

- I think this box is a...

rocket ship!
These are the wings.

See? And I'm...

Rocketman Tiger!

I'm going to fly to the moon...

in this rocket ship!
- Meow, meow!

Ha! Ha! Ha!

You will see me!

I'm pretending
to be a twinkling,

twirling star
in the sky, meow meow!

You, be a star too.
- Oh, OK.

I'm a star, too! Twirl!

- Hop, woop!

I'm pretending to be a planet
in the sky, toots.

- Ha! Ha! Ha!
- A purple planet!

- Grrr-ific! You can
pretend with us!

♪ When you pretend,

Let's pretend to be astronauts

and fly in a rocket ship
to the moon!

- Have a nice trip!
Bring me back a moon rock.

- OK!

Let's blast off!
Count down from with me!

... ...

... ...

...

BLAST OFF! Whoah! Whoaaah!

- Wooosh!
- Whoooo!

- I see the stars in the sky...

And there's a purple planet!

What do you see?

I see the moooon!

Heeeey, I have an idea!

Do you want
to make believe with me?

Let's make believe that...

we land on the moon,
and get a moon rock!

Hi, purple planet!
I'm going to the moon

to get a moon rock!
Which way to the moon?

- It's that way, toots!

- Thank you!

- Twinkle! Twinkle, meow, meow!

- Royally twinkle, twinkle!

Woah! Dizzy.

- I see the moon! Let's go!

Hmmm! How can we get
the moon rock?

I know! One moon rock...

coming up! Tractor beam!

Ta da! Moon rock
mission, complete!

(laughter)

I liked pretending with you!

- Zoooom! Wooo!

- Daniel, what are you
doing in that box?

- It's not a box,
it's a rocket ship!

And I just zoooomed to the moon!

And got this moon rock!

- That looks like a block,

not a moon rock.

Umm... and well...

...that just looks like a box.

- Well, that box
is my rocket ship.

- It's a box. Hoo-hoo!

- ♪ When you pretend,

- Can I have a turn with the box
now? Can I? Can I? Can I?

- It's not a box,
it's a rocket ship!

- It's not
a rocket ship anymore,

I want it to be a...

a boat!
- Are you sure you don't want it

to be a space boat?

- Ummm... no. I want it
to be a jungle boat!

And I want to be the captain!

Oooh! I know!

Let's pretend that we're sailing
to find jungle treasure!

- Great idea, toots!
- You can pretend with us.

Excited!

- Ha! Ha! Ha!
- Amazing!

Which way do we go to find
the jungle treasure?

- I think the treasure
is... this way!

- Oh, I don't see a treasure.

Oh! Look out! It's a lion!

- Roaaarrr!
- Roar, meow-meow, roar!

- Oh! Look!
I see something up ahead!
