- Hi, Neighbor!
I'm King Daniel...

See my crown?

- King Daniel, are you
coming to my castle?

I'm having
A ROYAL FEAST!!

That's a fancy word
for dinner, meow meow.

- (laughing):
A royal feast?

I'm coming! (changing
his voice): I mean...

(more regal):
I'm coming!

(giggles)
Come on, let's go!

(Katerina imitates
a trumpet announcement.)

- Welcome, King Daniel
to my royal castle, meow meow!

- Thank you!

- Now we can sit
at our royal table

and have our royal feast.

- Oh! I'd like
some royal feast, please!

- Oh, you would?
Well, who are you?

- I'm... A DRAGON!!

ROAR!
- OH NO!!

Oh no, run!
- A dragon? Hoo hoo?

- Dragon smells
yummy food!

ROOAR!!
(giggles)

- I think this dragon
wants to get into my castle!

You do, don't you dragon?
- I do! I do!

ROAR!!
(giggles)

- Come on Knight O,
and King Daniel,

let's chase the dragon away!
(giggles)

- Chase me! Chase me! ROAR!!

- Let's get that dragon!
- Let's go, hoo hoo!

- Meow meow, oops!
- Hey! You're bumping me!

- Roar! You'll never catch me!
- Giddy up, giddy up!

giddy up, oops! So sorry!
- Roar!

- Hey, I don't like that!
- Chase me!

- Come on, Daniel,
he's headed for the castle!

- Faster, faster!
- Roar!

You'll never stop me,
King Daniel!

ROAR!!
(giggles)

- I don't want
to play this anymore.

- Meow meow!
- AAH!!

Sorry Daniel!
- What's going on, Daniel?

Can I help?
- Well...

It's so noisy... and Katerina,
O and Prince Wednesday

are going so fast...

and bumping
into me and... buh!

I don't like it.
- King Daniel,

are you still playing?
- Come roar with us!

I mean come play
with us. He he!

- I don't want to.
- You know, Daniel,

it's OK to take a break
from playing with friends.

- It is?
- Why yes.

Everyone needs some alone
time once in a while.

Well... Ok.

I want to play
by myself for a while.

- But Daniel... we want you
to play with us, meow meow.

- Pleeaaaase?!

- Not right now. I just want
to be alone for a little while.

- OK, meow meow.

- You can play with us
later, if you want, Daniel.

- Thanks.
- ROAR!!

- OK now, let's see
if we can find

a nice quiet place
where you can be alone.

- Ooh! Over by the easel!

I can be by myself there!

- That's great, Daniel!

- It's nice and quiet over here.

What can I draw?

(gasping): I know! A castle!

A purple castle!

Oh, it will be SO BIG!!

Some windows...

...and a big door...

and some balloons,
so the castle can fly!

I wonder what my castle
would look like on the inside...

(gasping): Hey...

do you wanna
make believe with me?

Let's make believe

that we're playing
inside my purple castle!

Ha ha!
(whimsical music)

(whimsical chimes)

Wasn't that grr-ific?

(giggles from the others)

- When do you think
the dragon will wake up?

- I don't know, hoo hoo!
- You know what?

I liked playing
by myself for a while.

But I think

I'm ready to play
with my friends again.

- Roar! I'm awake!
- Oh no! Oh no!

- (giggling): Lookout!

- Yeah, here I come!

- The dragon is flying
to our castle!

- Stop dragon, stop! Hoo hoo!

- You'll never
stop me! Ha ha!

- (giggling):
Meow meow, oh no!

How can we stop him?

- Want to know
how to stop a dragon?

There's a book
for that! Hoo hoo!

My book will tell us
how to keep the dragon

away from the castle.
Be right back. Hoo hoo!

- Oh! Meow meow, wait!
Where are you going?

- How are we going
to stop the dragon?

- Yeah! Roar!

How are you going to stop me?
- Hoo hoo!

I'm going to
find out, but...

I want to look
at my book by myself.

- OK, so I'm going
to go read my book.

I'll tell you
what it says when I'm done.

- OK!
- Hm... where can I go?

- Hoo hoo! The book
corner looks quiet.

I can read my book there.

Aah.

"Once there was a king

who lived in a castle." Hoo hoo!

It's kind of like our castle,

but... this one
has water all around it.

"One day, a dragon
went to the castle!

He wanted to get inside
to get something to eat."

(gasping): Hoo hoo! Uh-oh!

"But the dragon
fell in the water!

"He was all wet!
So the Dragon stayed outside

"and made his
own picnic instead.

The castle was safe." Phew!

"The end." Ah...

I love that part. Hoo hoo!

I know how to keep the dragon
away from the castle!

- Look! This castle has...

water all around it!

- Oh! That will
keep the dragon out!

But... what can we
use for water?

- Let's look
around. Hoo hoo!

- Meow meow, I'll
look over here.

- OK!
- Hm...

maybe there is something
over here we can use for water,

meow meow. We have
to keep the dragon

away from the castle.
It's such a special castle...

It's so quiet and cozy.

Let's go inside, meow meow.

Sometimes, I like to be alone.

- Huh! Hi, Neighbor! It's me,

Tige-y the Adventure Tiger!

Let's search for an adventure!

(Dring! Dring!)
Do you hear that?

(Dring! Dring!)
Huh?!

Let's find out what it is!

(Dring!)
Oh!

It's Mr. McFeely!

- Well hello there, Mr. McFeely!
(baby cooing)

- Hello! I have
a speeedy delivery here

for one Daniel
Tiger. Hm...

But I don't see
Daniel Tiger anywhere!

Have you seen him?
- (chuckling): I'm right here,

Mr. McFeely!
- Oh ho!

Then this is for you.
- Ooh...

A package... just for me?

Thank you, Mr. McFeely!
- You are most welcome!

I'm off to make more
speeedy deliveries!

So long, Tiger family!
- Bye! Thank you!

- Bye, Mr. McFeely!
- Ooh, look Daniel,

it's from Grandpere!
- Let's open it!

(baby cooing and Daniel gasping)

Grandpere sent me a new Tige-y
the Adventure Tiger book!

Let's go read
my new book!

(baby giggling)

"The Adventures of Tige-y,
the Adventure Tiger!"

Look! There's Tige-y,
the Adventure Tiger!

Look at that
little cute giraffe!

(squeaky noises and baby cooing)

Margaret's toy
is kind of...loud!

Let's keep
looking at my book!

- Oh...the baby giraffe is lost,

and Tige-y is looking for him.
(Squeak!)

My new book!
Margaret, be careful!

- Wee!
- No, no, Margaret,

that's Daniel's book.

- No, Margaret.
MY book!

I can't look
at my book in here;

Margaret keeps on
bothering me!

a spot where you can be alone.

(giggles)

- Oh hello, Daniel!
- What are you doing, Mom?

- Well, I'm fixing
your dresser drawer.

The front came off, see?

Is that a new book? Would you
like me to read it to you?

- No thanks. I want
to look at it all by myself.

- Oh! OK. Well, I'm just
going to fix this drawer.

(hammering)
- Hm, that's loud!

MOM...THAT'S L...LOUD!

Are you almost
done, Mom?

- I'm afraid this might
take a little while.

- I can't keep looking at
my book while Mom is working.

It's too loud!

- Look! Tige-y is riding
on a mama giraffe!

...looking for
her lost little baby.

She's stuck in those bushes!

Oh! Tige-y is helping the baby
giraffe out of the bushes.

"Tige-y, the Adventure Tiger
was brave and strong

"and saved the lost
baby giraffe!

"And now she's with her mama.

The End." I love that part.

I liked the part

where Tige-y was riding
on the Mama giraffe!

(gasping): Hey...

do you want
to make-believe with me?

Let's make-believe
that we're riding a giraffe!

(gasping): Hey, that Tige-y book
gave me an idea

for a new game. Come on!

- Tickle tickle tickle!
(baby cooing and Dad chuckling)

How was your alone time?
- Tiger-tastic!

I read my book, and
it gave me a great idea.

Margaret, do you want
to play pretend with me?

(excited little breaths)
Good.

You can be
the lost baby giraffe.

Don't worry,
you won't really be lost,

it's just
pretend! Ready?

(funny noises and toy squeaking)

- OK, good!
Now, go hide.

(Margaret cooing)

Don't worry,
lost baby giraffe,

Tige-y the Adventure
Tiger will save you!

OK, Adventurer,
take out your binoculars

and let's search for
the lost baby giraffe!

Do you see Margaret?

(chuckling): I mean, uh,
the lost baby giraffe?

(Margaret cooing)
There she is,

behind those bushes!
(Margaret giggling)

Gotcha, baby giraffe!

I, Tige-y
the Adventure Tiger,

have rescued you!
(chuckles)

Giraffes love hugs!

- That was
a big adventure!

Hey... I have
another idea!

Maybe I could draw
my own adventure story!

I need lots of paper...
and crayons!

Ta-da! Oh! Excuse me, Margaret!

Hmm, what should I draw first?

Hm... Oh! Hey!

Margaret, I'm using that.
- Aah...

(Margaret laughs.)
I'm using that paper, too!

(Margaret whimpers)
Margaret, STOP!

- Oh oh oh... Margaret, I think
Daniel wants to draw by himself.

- Mm-hm. Thanks, Dad.

I really want
to be alone.

Margaret, we can play later, OK?
(Margaret cooing)

Ah... back inside

my quiet cozy spot.
Now I can draw.

Once upon a time, there was

Tige-y the Adventure Tiger...

and he was in the jungle.

And he had a friend named...

Super Daniel!
(little laugh)

And Super Daniel
was always flying around

and around and around
and around the jungle!

And then there was
a baby elephant...

who was...

stuck... in a river!

"Help! Help!"

And Tige-y
the adventure Tiger...

...and Super Daniel...

saved the baby elephant...

and brought him
home to his family.

(chuckling): Aww,
that's so sweet.

The end.

Look at all the drawings I made
for my adventure story!

Being alone gives me
lots of ideas!

make a box.

- Is this good?
- Yep. We're gonna take

the paper towel.
Watch me carefully.

Just gonna rub the bottom
of the square like this.

(laughing): Pick up your paper
towel and put your finger

in it again and just kinda...

dab it a little bit.

Very good! OK?

- I could see
how it's coming out!

- Yes! Now what color
do you have?
