Summary

Each episode shows the main character, Tig Jameson, in a different situation, e.g. being afraid of thunder or staying away from home. Her toy spider, Woolly, helps her overcome these situations by telling her what to think. It then cuts to Tig sorting out these problems. The episode finishes with someone getting frightened by Woolly, and Tig saying "It's only a toy spider" and "I love Woolly". Woolly is Tig's imaginary friend. He is actually a stuffed spider toy, although Tig imagines him as real. He also portrays Tig's conscience, and usually appears when Tig feels guilty, scared, or angry. Woolly is silly and likable. He is also funny, imaginative and energetic.
