The script as spoken in the video

Cast: Squiggle, a round, fuzzy purple spider with big googly eyes and button feet. Pip is a chatty New York pigeon dark grey color with a red bow tie around his neck. The Parker family’s big blue suitcase has a rainbow luggage tag. Refrain, repeated at each landmark: “Squiggle looked left. Squiggle looked right. What a big, bright, busy sight!” Spread 1. Maple Garden. “Squiggle was a small, fuzzy spider with a big, big smile. He lived in a garden full of tall roses, and he loved to explore.” Spread 2. A big blue suitcase sits open on the grass. “One sunny morning, Squiggle found something new. A big blue suitcase! ‘What’s inside?’ he wondered. Pitter-patter, in he went. Then zip, zip, ZIP! His button foot got caught, and the suitcase closed.” Spread 3. Airport, then a plane above the clouds. “Rumble, rumble, WHOOSH! Up, up, up went the plane. Squiggle curled up between two fuzzy socks and fell fast asleep.” Spread 4. Outside the airport, wind, a silk thread, a yellow taxi. “Thump! The suitcase landed. A gust of wind popped open the pocket. Squiggle floated out on a silky thread. Plop! He landed on the roof of a yellow taxi. ‘Where am I?’ ‘Honk, honk!’ said the taxi.” Spread 5. The skyline. Pip the pigeon waves. “‘Coo! You’re new here,’ said a pigeon named Pip. ‘Welcome to New York City!’ ‘Oh no,’ said Squiggle. ‘This isn’t my garden.’ ‘Don’t worry,’ said Pip. ‘First, let’s see the sights!’” Spread 6. The Statue of Liberty, torch glowing. “Squiggle looked left. Squiggle looked right. What a big, bright, busy sight! A giant green lady held a torch up high. ‘She says hello to everyone,’ said Pip.” Spread 7. The Brooklyn Bridge, the cables like a giant web. “‘Look at all those strings!’ said Squiggle. ‘It’s just like my web!’ He climbed the cables and spun a tiny, sparkly web of his own.” Spread 8. Central Park: ducks, a rowboat, ice cream. “Squiggle looked left. Squiggle looked right. What a big, bright, busy sight! Ducks went quack. Boats went splash. Squiggle licked a drip of strawberry ice cream. Yum!” Spread 9. Times Square at night, a blaze of colors. “Blink! Flash! Zoom! The lights were SO bright that Squiggle’s eyes grew as big as buttons. ‘Too loud?’ asked Pip. ‘A little,’ said Squiggle. ‘Let’s find somewhere calm.’” Spread 10. The Empire State Building at sunset, the city glittering. “At the very top, the city twinkled like a thousand tiny stars. Squiggle felt a little sad. ‘I miss my garden,’ he whispered. ‘I miss my mama.’” Spread 11. Morning, the airport, the blue suitcase with a rainbow tag. “‘Home is a good place to miss,’ said Pip. ‘Let’s find your way.’ Back at the airport, Squiggle spotted something. A blue suitcase with a rainbow tag, just like the rainbow on his waterspout! ‘That’s it!’ Pip gave him a postcard. ‘Come back and visit!’ Squiggle hugged Pip, then hopped in. Zip!” Spread 12. Maple Garden, a “Welcome Home” web glittering in the sun. “Whoosh! Rumble! Thump! Squiggle was home. Mama had woven a web that read WELCOME HOME. ‘I saw a giant green lady, a bridge, and a million lights,’ said Squiggle. ‘But my garden is the best place of all.’ And he fell asleep with his postcard under his pillow.”
