Mr. Anthony is a sympathetic preschool teacher. His students often come to him with their problems, most dealing with difficult emotional issues they are facing and at their age do not quite understand. Mr. Anthony helps them overcome their emotions using his alter-ego, Napkin Man, a cartoon character he draws on a napkin and who comes to life as Mr. Anthony tells how Napkin Man has dealt with the issue before in helping another young person in destress
Mr. Anthony and his students are building a papier maché pyramid, just like the one in the picture of Egypt hanging on their classroom wall, although Benny is more enthralled with the pharaoh...
Mr. Anthony and his students are playing a game where the students are supposed to jump, jump, jump while he plays the music, and then stop and be still when the music stops, then start jumping again when the music starts, and so on. However, Scott can't help but jump even when the music stops, he in the process accidentally knocking over Kendra and what she's doing a few times.
The students are playing make believe, each pretending who they want to be. Scott, who was proudly pretending to be a super hero named Super Scott, all of a sudden becomes withdrawn and hides under a table. It's because some of the other kids started teasing him about his cape in reality being his "blankie", their taunts being that only babies have blankies. His hiding is so he can get small so no one sees him in his embarrassment. To help Scott feel less small, Mr. Anthony shows him how to do the growly bear stretch, which helps, but still doesn't make Scott feel any...
The students are having a costume parade. Vikram, dressed as a clown, isn't participating in the parade as he feels nervous not knowing the other kids well and not knowing if he should just join in, he, in the process, having a weird fluttery feeling in his tummy. To help Vikram with the flutters, Mr. Anthony shows him how to do the wiggle shake, which helps, but still doesn't make Vikram feel any less nervous. So Mr. Anthony proceeds to tell Vikram about the time Napkin Man helped his friend Vincent the Clown, who was nervous about clowning around with the other ...
During medieval play time, Benny, dressed as a knight, is trying to build a sand castle, but whatever he does, it just won't stand up. As such, he has the "grrr" frustrations. Mr. Anthony shows Benny how to do the balloon to get rid of the "grrr"s.
Mr. Anthony and his students are playing cowboys and cowgirls, when he notices that Suki is alone looking sad. She's sad because her best friend and fellow classmate, Mary, has just moved away, the two of them who used to play cowgirls together, which is making Suki wanting to be a cowgirl even less now.
Mr. Anthony and the students are playing astronaut. During what is the countdown to the rocket being launched, Winston runs out of the rocket, his problem being that he doesn't have his favorite space helmet and he can't find it. Winston is overly hyper in his panic not knowing where his space helmet is.
Louise and Sally are arguing with each other as they are trying to get through the play tunnel which is wide enough for only one child, each going through the tunnel from different ends, neither wanting to give way to the other. They each want to go through the tunnel first before the other, Louise who just can't wait, and Sally who feels the need to go, go, go.
Sally, mad, no longer wants to play with her baby teddy bear, as she associates it with Sophie, her new baby sister at home. Sophie is taking all her mom's attention away, her mom who no longer has time to play with her. To get Sally to feel less scrunchy, Mr. Anthony shows her how to do the stompy stomp dance, which makes her feel less scrunchy, but doesn't take away her madness.
Benny and Louise are both frustrated as there isn't enough clay for both Benny to make a lion and Louise to make an eagle, both demonstrating their frustration by crossing their arms tightly to their bodies.
Mr. Anthony and his class are having a Mexican fiesta. Vikram's stomach is feeling all scrunchy in his unease, as he doesn't want to attend not knowing what a fiesta is, and even after learning that it is a party he is unfamiliar with all the Mexican customs and food still making him nervous.
Following pretending to be a human train, Mr. Anthony's class is having lunch. Mr. Anthony notices that Scott, who is sitting quietly by himself, is looking longingly over at the kids at the other table, looking more specifically at Benny's shiny new lunchbox which he wants. Scott is disappointed that his own lunchbox is old and scratched, he's feeling all "humpf" in the process.
A new student named Layla has arrived in the class, she who knows no English but only her native tongue, Arabic. Although Lucy, who has volunteered to show her around the class, is excited about Layla's arrival, Mr. Anthony doesn't think it would be a good idea for Lucy to do so just yet as he can tell, especially after Layla's mom leaves, that Layla is shy not knowing how to communicate verbally with the other students.
