I'm King Daniel... See my crown?

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.

♪♪ Sometimes you want to be alone ♪ ♪ You can find a place of your very own ♪ - ♪ Sometimes you want to be alone ♪ ♪ You can find a place of your very own ♪ 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!

(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.

♪♪ Sometimes you want to be alone ♪ ♪ You can find a place of your very own ♪ - Oh!

I felt that way too.

♪ Sometimes you want to be alone ♪ ♪ You can find a place of your very own ♪ - 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.

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!

- It sounds like you need a spot where you can be alone.

♪ Sometimes you want to be alone ♪ ♪ You can find a place of your very own ♪ - ♪ Sometimes you want to be alone ♪ ♪ You can find a place of your very own ♪ - Where can I go look at my book alone?

My room!

- 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!

...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!

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

- 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.

♪ Sometimes you want to be alone ♪ ♪ You can find a place of your very own ♪ 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!

Let's spend some time with one of our neighbours!

(theme music) - Hi, my name is Jasmine and today, I'm gonna see my friend Troy.

He's an artist!

Come on!

Hey Troy!

What you doin'?

- Oh hey, Jasmine, how are you?

Good seeing you.

Have a seat!

Guess what!

I have a way of making pictures with erasers.

My favorite, favorite erasers are these stretchy ones.

- Stretchy!

- Stretchy erasers!

This eraser made all these pictures.

Every single one of these.

- Just one eraser made all of these pictures?

- The stretchy eraser.

The stretchy eraser made all these pictures.

What we're gonna do is start with a color.

I'm going to choose this color.

Dark colors work best.

We're gonna take our chalk, lay it on its side... 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?

- Thanks for letting me stop by, Troy!

- No problem, Jasmine!

You can come by and draw any time you like.

- Thanks for coming neighbour, bye!
