Daniel Tiger is playing with his toy Trolley and models of the Neighborhood. Mom Tiger pretends to be Baker Aker as Daniel plays like he is picking up a birthday cake at the bakery. Dad Tiger pretends to be Mr. McFeely delivering a package.

Daniel make-believes that Trolley takes him for some fun and adventurous rides. When Mom Tiger tells Daniel that it's time to stop playing and time to finish work on his show-and-tell book, Daniel does not want to stop. Given the chance pick one more thing to do, Daniel chooses to make one more pretend delivery.

With his art supplies ready, Daniel finishes the final page of his book. Having fun decorating his book, Daniel has to be reminded when it's time for bed and is given the opportunity to do one more thing. Daniel chooses to add some extra glitter to his book.

Moving on to his bedroom, Daniel puts on his Trolley pajamas and brushes his teeth. Dad Tiger and Mom Tiger let Daniel choose between a song and a book before bed. Daniel chooses a song.
