Daniel Tiger has grown tall enough to reach the fish food on top of the fish tank. As he feeds his fish, Daniel discovers some new baby fish and learns some exciting news from his mom and dad -- the Tiger family is expecting a baby! Dad Tiger encourages Daniel to be a big helper when the new baby comes.

At school, Daniel sees a family of squirrels with a baby of their own and make-believes that all of the animals in the Neighborhood have had babies.

Inside the school, Daniel shares the big news with Teacher Harriet and plays family with Katerina Kittycat. Daniel pretends to be the baby but when a bottle is out of reach, he quickly realizes that he is needed more as a helpful big brother.
