- Hi, neighbour!
I'm glad you're here.

Dad and I are about to check
the mail. Check with us.

- Up you go.

- Look, we got a letter!

[Dad grunting]
- OK.

I wonder who it's from.
- Come on in.

La, la, dee, doo, dee, doo, doo,
la, la, la.

- Here we go. Look.

The letter is
from Grandpere Tiger!

- Yay! Grandpere!

Grandpere is MY grandfather
and YOUR father, right?

- Right.
Let's see what he wrote.

"Hello. I'm having lots
of adventures sailing.

"I wanted you
to see the big fish I saw.

it's almost as big as Daniel."
- Wow.

- "I miss my tiger family
and think you often.

Love, Grandpere."

Awww, I miss Grandpere.

- I miss Grandpere too.

- But getting a letter from him
makes me feel so happy

because I love him.
- Yeah. I love Grandpere.

And I love you. Grr.
- Love you too, little tiger.

I know, I'm going to go put
Grandpere's picture
on the fridge.

- Did you see how happy my dad
was? He really liked getting
that letter.

- Hi, honey. What's that?

- A letter from Grandpere.
It made Dad really happy.

- Hmm, well, Dad loves getting
letters from people
he cares about.

- Hmm... Mom?

Do you think Dad would like
getting a letter from me?

- He would love a letter
from you.

♪ Making something is one way
to say, "I love you" ♪

- Hey! I can make Dad a letter
with a picture

and send it to him,
just like Grandpere's letter.

♪ Making something is one way
to say, "I love you" ♪

There. I drew a heart
because I love Dad.

Will you write the words?

- All right.
- Dear Dad.

- "Dear Dad..."

- This heart is for you.
Love, Daniel.

- "Love, Daniel."
- Did you write that?

- I did. Now, let's get
your letter ready to mail.

- OK.

- First your letter has to go
in an envelope.

- Careful, careful.
- Yes, carefully.

Want to lick the envelope?
- Yes!

Envelopeth
taseth fthunny.

- OK, now we write down
our address

so our postman, Mr. McFeely,
knows where the letter is going.

- To our mailbox!
We live on Jungle Beach.

- That's right.
Now we need a stamp.

- Ooh, I like this one.

OK.

- Great. Now let's take it
to the post office.

a surprise for Dad.

surprises. To the post office.
