- Hi Neighbor!
Katerina and O are here,

and we're playing restaurant.
Come play!

Have you ever been
to a restaurant?

I have with my Mom and Dad.

- Hee! Hee!
- Hoo! Hoo!

- Hi, Tigey!
Smells delicious in here.

- Meow meow, welcome
to our restaurant.

I am the waitress named...
Twinklina Pumpernickel!

Would you like some milk?
- Yes, please.

- Oh here we go...
Ah!

What food do you have
at the restaurant today?

- Today, Chef O--
- Hoo! Hoo!

- Is making...
yummy veggie spaghetti!

- With extra cheese!
- Broccoli pizza...

- With extra broccoli!
- And... carrot soup!

- With extra carrots!

- What would you like
to eat, meow meow?

- Prrt Prrt Prrt. Pss pss.
Really? OK!

Tigey wants... everything!

- Everything?
- Yes!

Tigey's one very hungry tiger!

Grom. Grom. Grom!
Grom, Grom, Grom!

- OK, OK. Hoo! Hoo!
I'll make you some Tigey food!

- And what do you want,
Daniel meow meow?

- Everything!
I'm a hungry tiger, too!

- Coming right up! Hoo! Hoo!
(baby noises)

- Ooh. Your sister is coming
to our restaurant.

Hi Margaret, meow meow.

- Hi Margaret!
- Bah!

- Hey! That's Tigey's cup.
Don't throw it, OK?

- No no, Margaret. These cups
are not for you.

OK. More milk for Tigey, please.
I'll go help O.

- Here you-- oh!
- Oh no!

- Margaret, we're playing with
those. Stop throwing them!

- This is my cup. Daniel's cup.
- Eee! Bah!

- Oh no!
- Uh-oh!

- Our restaurant!
It's on the floor!

Plates on the floor...
Cups on the floor... Gah!

- Ga! Ga! Ga! Ga! Ga! Ga!
- Hoo! Hoo!

- Margaret!

Mom!
- What is it, Daniel?

- Look!
We were playing restaurant

and Margaret messed it all up!
- Ah... I see.

That is so frustrating.

But, Margaret's just trying
to play with you.

- She is?
- Mm-hmm.

- Babies like to be around
people that they love.

And she loves her big brother.

She wants to be with you
and play what you're playing.

- But... it makes it hard
to play with O and Katerina

when Margaret's
messing things up.

- We want to have fun.
- I know.

It's different that Margaret
wants to play with you but...

I wonder if we could think
of a way to make it fun.

if you need me!
- Hmmm...

How could all of this restaurant
stuff on the floor be fun?

- Yeah. We can't eat
on the floor...

Or drink on the floor...
- Yeah.

That would be
a floor restaurant!

- A floor restaurant?!

- That actually sounds
kind of... fun.

Like a picnic!

could be really fun.

- Hoo! Hoo!
- Meow meow this is

our picnic basket
for our picnic restaurant!

- In our picnic basket we have
sandwiches, and oranges

and-- Gah!
- Ha! Ha! That's not a hat,

that's a picnic basket!

OK...now this
is a picnic restaurant

where everything
is on your head.

Cup on my head.
- Napkin on my head, meow meow.

I like it too...
I wish I could really go

to a silly restaurant.

and everyone is singing
and dancing!

eating at a silly restaurant!

- Wasn't that grrr-ific?

- Ahmm!

- No, Margaret.
Tigey is mine. Here.

- Hoo hoo! Here's my special
carrot soup for you!

Extra carrot!
- It will be yum, yum, yummy,

in your tum, tum, tummy.

- Mmm... so carrot-y!

I think I want some more soup.

Do you want some more soup too,
Tigey?

Tigey?!
Margaret! No!

Come back with Tigey.
- No-no, Margaret.

- Thanks, Katerina.
- I'll go get your soup, Tigey.

- Hey! Margaret...

Margaret took Tigey again. Gah.

Margaret won't stop
taking Tigey.

How would you feel if someone
took your favorite thing

in the whole world?

I wish she would stop!
Ugh, Margaret!

Grrah! Mom!

- Hey hey hey...
What's going on?

- Margaret keeps taking Tigey.

- Oh... I can see
why that would upset you.

Margaret playing with Tigey
is different...

I'm sure we can think
of something.

But...what's fun about
Margaret having Tigey?

Then I can't play with him
and hug him and snuggle him...

- It is nice to have something
soft and cuddly, isn't it?

- Yeah... Margaret would like
to hug something like Tigey.

- Mm-hmm. Why don't you take
a look in the toy box,

and see if you can find
a cuddly toy for Margaret?

- OK, Mom. Will you help me look
for something cuddly

for Margaret?

- We'll help too, meow meow!
- Owls are excellent helpers.

- Hmmm... what can we give her?
It needs to be huggable.

(Honk!)
- Fire truck?

Meow meow, no. Too pokey!

- Trumpet?
(Honk!)

Hoo hoo, no! Too loud!

- Barn?
(Moo!)

- Jack-in-the-box!
Gah!

- Phew... No. None of these
are soft and cuddly.

Let's look one more time.

Do you see anything soft
and fuzzy for Margaret?

Pandy the panda!

Pandy is great for hugging.

Margaret, this is Pandy.

Pandy's soft and fuzzy.
And Pandy is for you.

my mom and dad didn't see me.

- OK, OK, OK. Settle down.
- You missed my juggling.

- I'm sorry, Daniel. But
your little sister needed us.

- But I needed you to watch me.

- Hi, my name is Evie and I'm at
the zoo with my friend Nicole.

- Hi Evie, I was just getting
ready to feed the Pandas,

would you like to come help?
- Yes.

- Let's go.

Take a peek at everybody
real quick. I know Mama.

So Evie, would you like
to pick out a toy from the pile

back there
Oh, that's a good one.

And I'm going to put a little
sweet potato on it.

- I guess she's not hungry.

- I think she might be ready
to go outside.

Let's see what happens.

(Evie giggles)

- She's a pretty good
climber but...

she might get scared up there.

- She hasn't made it to the top
of the tree yet.

If you see, there's a special
little thing there on that tree

that's preventing her from
getting any higher than she is

and it's because she's still
a baby and we don't want

to go way up in the top
until she's a good climber.

- Neat.

- I had a lot of fun today.

I think Bow-Bow really enjoyed
her treat, don't you?

- Yeah.
- Maybe you and your Mom can see

some of the other animals, OK?
- Mm-hmm. Thanks!

- Bye-bye.

- That looked like fun!
