Synopsis

Squiglet uses a zig zag line to squiggle a T-rex called Terry whose roar doesn't sound right. In fact, it sounds very funny indeed and it just isn't frightening any more! Terry's worried that all his friends back home will laugh at it.

Squiglet thinks they should go and see and squiggles Terry's dinosaur world home. Terry's friends are playing Dino Roar, every young dinosaur's favourite game but Terry doesn't want to join in. He doesn't think his roar would make even a little mouse jump. And when a little mouse called Marty scurries in, it seems he's right - Marty just laughs and laughs! Squiglet takes Terry off to the doctor's to see if he can help. And he does - when he looks in Terry's mouth, he knows exactly what's wrong. Terry has hiccups!

He explains that there are several things you can do to make the hiccups go away, like drinking a big cup of water. So Squiglet squiggles one. But that doesn't stop Terry's hiccups. The doctor says that someone making you jump can cure them too and when Squiglet jumps out on Terry with a loud 'Boo!' they think it's worked, until Terry tries out his roar on Marty again and the hiccups come back! Poor Terry.

A good laugh can cure the hiccups too, but he's too sad to laugh despite all the funny things Marty does. A look at the Squiggle Pad gives them an idea - a tickle will make Terry laugh. And when Squiglet uses the zig zag line again to squiggle a tickling stick, Marty scurries up Terry's body and uses it to tickle him under the arms. That sets Terry laughing fit to burst, and soon those hiccups are gone for good!

Welcome to Squiglet's world. It's plain white, but it doesn't stay that way for long! With the help of a magical set of crayons called Squiggle Sticks, friendly monster Squiglet shows us how to draw colorful characters. When Squiglet and the viewers sing the magic words together, the characters leap off the page and come to life.
