I'm King Daniel!

Come and play with me.

This blanket can be my king robe!

(laughing) I'm king of the castle and I'm going to sit on my... pillow throne.

(laughing) Look, there's Prince Elephant.

So, why are you at my castle, Prince Elephant?

I came to tell you something important.

What is it?

There's a dragon in the kingdom!

Ah!

Oh no!

A dragon?

We have to scare him away.

(gasp) Prince Wednesday can help us scare away the dragon.

He's really good at that.

Let's ask my mom if Prince Wednesday can come over.

We really need him.

(Mom Tiger humming) Mom!

Mom!

Can Prince Wednesday come over?

Can he?

- (laughing): Slow down, Daniel.

Tell me what you need.

- I'm playing king of the castle with our neighbor, and we have to scare away a dragon, and we really, really need prince Wednesday's help.

So can he come over?

Can he, Mom?

- Oh, Daniel, Prince Wednesday can't come over today.

- What?

Prince Wednesday can't come over, why?

- Because he's visiting his cousin Chrissie all day today.

- Grrr!

But I wanted him to come over and play king of the castle.

- Aww, I'm sorry.

Maybe you can help me with my pictures.

Look!

This is you as a baby.

You liked to play king then, too.

- Oh yeah!

Look how little I was.

(Daniel sighs.)

I really wanted Prince Wednesday to come over.

- Oh, Daniel... - Hey, maybe we can play the trumpet.

Maybe I can play a trumpet song that will make the dragon come out.

♪♪♪ Hey!

My trumpet's broken!

Hmmmm!

We need to go to Music Man Stan's shop to fix my trumpet.

We so need to!

Mom!

Mom, my trumpet, it's broken.

We need to go to Music Man Stan's to fix my trumpet.

Need to.

- But we can't go to Music Man Stan's today.

- What?!

Why can't we?

- Because Music Man Stan's shop is closed today.

- Closed?!

Grrr!

But that means I can't get my trumpet fixed.

Grrr... - Oh, my little Daniel.

- First Prince Wednesday can't come over, and now I can't go to Music Man Stan's?

I can't do anything today!

- Aw, Daniel...

I know it feels like you can't do what you want to do.

And when you feel like that it means you're frustrated.

- Frustrated?

I am.

I'm really frustrated.

- Now, I'm sure there's something around here you can do.

You just have to keep thinking.

- I can't!

Grrr!

I'm too frustrated.

I will help you.

Do you want an idea for something to do now?

- Yes, please.

- Why don't you feed the fish?

- Oh... OK. Hi, fishies, are you hungry?

Blurp-blurp!

Blurp!

Blurp-blurp-blurp!

Would you play king of the castle with me?

You can be princes and trumpet players of an underwater castle.

(gasp) Hey, that gives me an idea.

Do you want to make believe with me?

Let's make believe that I live with the fish in an underwater castle!

But maybe you could play with me for a little while?

- OK, I can do that.

- Let's go play in my room!

Maybe we can play with the blocks?

- I would love to.

What a wonderful idea, Daniel.

(Daniel humming) What do you want to make?

- A king's castle!

You can play too!

And Tigey can be King Tigey, king of the castle!

- OK, you start and I'll help.

(Mom Tiger humming) (Daniel and Mom humming) - Ha!

Ha!

Mom, we're humming together!

(Mom laughing) - Yep.

And building together too.

- I like when we play together.

- So do I!

- Almost there.

- Almost.

- Our castle is done!

Look how tall we made the castle!

OK, King Tigey, you should sit on the top because you're the king!

Ha!

Ha!

King Tigey!

Uh-oh!

He fell off.

- Here.

Try again.

- Thanks.

Oh!

Grrr!

- Here.

- Grrrr!

There!

Don't fall again, King Tigey, OK?

Ah!

Grrrr!

Why can't I get Tigey to stay on the castle like I want him to?

I'm so frustrated!

What are you doing today, neighbor?

♪♪♪ - (Katerina Kittycat): Meow-meow, hi, neighbor!

Today, Kieran is coming to Brayden's house to play.

She's here!

Today they are making an art project.

They have lots of colorful paper, and markers, and glitter!

That's a beautiful crown, meow-meow!

See how Brayden placed his decorations?

You can make your crown any way you want.

Use your imagination!

What beautiful crowns you're making!

Kieran made her own special crown too.

(Katerina laughs.)

Time to let the glitter crowns dry!

Careful!

Brayden's mom has an idea to help!

She uses fabric from around the house to make costumes!

What lovely silver capes!

And the finishing touch.

Mom helps with some of the steps, like using the stapler.

Brayden and Kieran made their own special crowns using their imagination.

And you can too!

Goodbye, neighbor!

- That looked like fun!

Thanks, neighbor.

(Italian music) - (O the owl): Hi, neighbor, Meet our friends Leo and chef Larry.

They are going to make spaghetti and meatballs.

- The first thing we have to do is wash our hands.

- OK. - Let's do it.

And we're gonna take this meat and this meat, You put them in this bowl and smash 'em all up together.

Would you like to squirt this in there?

Squirt it in there!

There you go.

We're gonna take a little bit of meat and roll it into a ball.

Now we're gonna take the flour, and put it right on the table.

I like your technique.

This is the way that my sweet little grandmother taught me how to do it.

You have to get it all together.

Now we're gonna roll it.

This is a pasta maker machine.

You take the dough that we just made and you run it through the machine and it gets longer and it gets flatter.

And then when it's all done, we're gonna put it through another part of the machine and turn it into spaghetti.

Now we have spaghetti.

Now we're gonna put our pasta into the pot.

Here we go!

- (O the owl): Hoo-hoo!

That looks delicious.

Thanks for making spaghetti with us, neighbors.

Bye.

- I like meeting new neighbors!
