Daniel Tiger has just finished his bath and is playing airplane with Margaret before bed time. When it's time to stop playing, Daniel has a hard time calming down until Dad Tiger offers him a helpful strategy: "It's time to sleep. The day is done. Let's countdown to calm down. Five-four-three-two-one."

After brushing his teeth, Daniel goes to his bed where Dad Tiger reads him a story -- but not before he has to be reminded to calm himself for bed time.

Dad Tiger shares a story called "Goodnight Tigers" and Daniel make-believes that Tigey is sleeping in the jungle. With the covers pulled tight, Daniel settles into bed as Dad Tiger sings Goodnight Daniel.

When a noise startles Daniel, he is calmed by Mom Tiger.
