The narrative is about a child named Tig who is accompanied by her parents and a toy spider, Willy, on a shopping trip to a big shopping center. They visit various shops, including a dress shop, a toy shop, and a shoe shop. Tig chooses a sparkly dress for a party and a red dress for every day, and later chooses blue shoes to go with the red dress. They also visit a café and a supermarket.
Tig's parents often have to help her choose the right items. At one point, Tig gets lost in the toy section of the supermarket and feels left alone, but Willy reassures her that her parents haven't left her. Tig also expresses a desire for a toy panda, which leads to a discussion about being grumpy when you can't have what you want.
The narrative ends with Tig expressing happiness in being busy and loving Willy.
