Polkaroo skips down the porch steps of his house into the garden. It's nighttime. The lights are on inside the house and there is a cozy sofa on the porch. Polkaroo looks at the night sky using his telescope.

[humming]
Polkaroo is a tall, green kangaroo, and wears a mended, yellow and multi-coloured polka dot costume. He cups his hands over his long green ears and says POLKAROO, POLKAROO!

His yellow hair moves as he jumps up and flies to outer space. He passes planet Earth and continues flying way up like a rocket.
(music plays)
Polkaroo yells POLKAROO!

As the hot, blazing Sun and Mercury appear, a female voice says
IF YOU GO WAY UP PAST
THE CLOUDS, INTO SPACE,
YOU'LL FIND EIGHT PLANETS
EACH IN THEIR PLACE.

The planets appear on screen as the voice names them. Mercury is small and red.

The voice says THE FIRST IS MERCURY,
SECOND IS VENUS,
Venus is brownish with stripes.

The voice continues THIRD IS THE EARTH WITH THE
MOON FLYING BETWEEN US.
The Earth is blue and brown, which shows the surface of the oceans and the land. The moon appears between Earth and Mars.

The voice says MARS IS FOURTH,
Mars is red.

The voice says JUPITER'S FIFTH.
Jupiter is enormous and red with off white stripes and a stain shaped like an eye.

The voice says SATURN'S THE SIXTH WITH
RINGS THAT GO SWISH.
Saturn is greyish and has rings around it.

The voice says SEVENTH IS URANUS,
THEN AT THE END,
NEPTUNE IS EIGHTH NEAR
PLUTO THEIR FRIEND.

Polkaroo flies around the planets and says POLKAROO!

The voice says COME SEE A PLANET SO
FAR FROM THE SUN.
YOU'D BE 13 WHEN
YOU GOT THERE
IF YOU LEFT WHEN
YOU WERE ONE.

Polkaroo travels away very fast across space, inside a rocket.

The voice says IT WOULD TAKE
12 YEARS TO TRAVEL
FROM EARTH TO
NEPTUNE.
IF YOU'RE PLANNING TO VISIT,
YOU'D BETTER LEAVE SOON.

Polkaroo arrives to Neptune and waves as he says POLKAROO!

The voice says NEPTUNE IS THE FARTHEST
AWAY FROM THE SUN.
IT'S A COLD, COLD PLACE
AND A STORMY ONE.

Polkaroo approaches Neptune holding up a red umbrella. Neptune is a blueish purple and covered in storm clouds.

The voice says NEPTUNE HAS THE FASTEST
WIND THAT WE KNOW.
YOU COULDN'T USE
AN UMBRELLA
WHERE THAT WIND BLOWS.

The wind flips Polkaroo’s red umbrella up, and Polkaroo flies away.

He yells POLKAROO!

The voice says SEE YOU LATER,
NEPTUNE.
I DON'T WANT TO
BE RUDE, THOUGH.
DON'T FORGET
TO SAY GOODBYE
TO NEPTUNE'S
LITTLE PAL PLUTO.

Pluto moves around near Neptune. It is very small, white, and it barks like a dog.

Now, Polkaroo plays with planet Neptune and says POLKAROO!

The voice says NOW, POLKAROO, SAY
GOODBYE TO SPACE.
HELP PUT THE PLANETS
BACK INTO PLACE.

Polkaroo lets go of Neptune. Neptune floats back into its place, eight from the Sun.

The voice says BYE BYE, PLANETS.
BYE BYE, POLKAROO.
POLKAROO SAYS BYE BYE
TO YOU, TOO.

Polkaroo floats away as he waves his hand.
