Heady leggy script

This is the script to the book

Space Planet Encyclopaedia Script

Page One

This is Space Planet
He’s a friendly chap whose kindness and zest for life is known throughout the Planet Galaxy.
Space Planet, or SP as his friends call him, is home to the most sophisticated life forms in his solar system.
He is very proud of this.

Page Two

Space Planet lives in Solar System 4 of the Planet Galaxy with his good friends Sun, Moon, Warm Planet, Mr Planet, Planet Land and Planet small.
Angry Planet lives there too but he refuses to be friends with anybody because he is too angry. 

Page Three

The climate of Space Planet is pleasant but unpredictable.
There is daily flooding because Moon cries all night when his best friend Sun goes away. He is so lonely and floods the ground with his tears. 
When Sun comes back up Moon is so happy that he stays out all day while Sun dries up the mess he made.
This reeks havoc with the tides but nobody minds because Moon is such a nice guy. 

Page Four

Away from the safety of the home land there are three main areas; Moss Caves, the Dusty Peaks and Forest Marsh. These are hostile environments where only the toughest creatures live. Brave Heady Leggies come here to collect exotic supplies but most just stay in the comfort of their homes. 

Page Five

The Heady Leggy is the dominant species of Space Planet due to their upright stance, opposable thumbs and positive mental attitude.
They are almost perfectly spherical. It’s not so much that they don’t have a body, rather that their head is their body.
Their other distinguishing features are their long pointy noses, their wide goggly eyes, and their wibbly spaghetti limbs. 



Page Six 

Heady Leggies come in different shades, shapes and sizes but their all the same on the inside.
Everything a Heady Leggy needs to stay alive is stored within it’s head.

Page Seven

The life on Space Planet is happy and diverse.
The creatures get along quite well and they all survive on the bountiful fruits of the land. 

Page Eight

Space Planet is a very watery place, what with all Moon’s tears, so there are many Sea Creatures too.
Most animals can live happily on land or in water.

Page Nine

The Planet Life of Space Planet is rich and plentiful. 
Often plants are flooded by Moon’s tears so they are all able to survive in water.
Some can even grow several meters on command to keep their heads above water level. 

Page Ten

Heady Leggies consider themselves to be ‘at one with nature’ and like to tend to their trim and elegant gardens. 
It gives them great joy to watch a flower bloom.

Page Eleven

The Thermole is the only source of heat and light on Space Planet, other than Sun. 
They are sweet natured creatures whose fiery glow comes form their warm plasma centres and overwhelming sense of self satisfaction. 

Page Twelve

All water on Space Planet comes form Moon’s tears. They are filled with nutritious energy that can fuel critters and cars for many days. 


Page Thirteen

The PeragroPod is the vehicle of choice agreed among all Heady Leggies.
It can travel across land, sea and sky with ease.
Due to its cumbersome shape it is not very fast, but that is okay because Heady Leggies are never in a hurry. 

Page Fourteen

The Heady Leggy houses are sturdy and round to deflect falling Moon tears.
They have one large window to let light into the social rooms but keep the bedroom in darkness.
The legs are extendable to lift the house out of the water during floods. 

 Page Fifteen

Unlike Earth animals, creatures on Space Planet can have large chunks of their flesh removed and remain alive and happy.
The Heady Leggy diet consists of this meat, plant matter, fruits, flowers, natural roughage, nutritious Moon water and pink creamy Squooter milk.

Page Sixteen

Here are some examples of Heady Leggy recipes.
They are keen chefs and like to experiment with new ingredients.
Dishes like this will impress the dinner party guests. 

Page Seventeen

Heady Leggies can make small clones of themselves called ‘Mini-Leggies’, for when they need a helping hand or a friend to play with. 
Heady Leggies are not mortal creatures, meaning there are as many of them now as there ever was. This is how they manage to be such good friends.

Page Eighteen

Heady Leggies came into being when Sun, Moon and SP were bored and wanted a new project to work on.
Taking tiny particles from Sun’s cosy core and nutrients from Moon’s happy tears they formed oozing blobs of life that evolved into Heady Leggies.


Page Nineteen

Music is very important to Heady Leggies. They are all musical in some way. They like to sing about their thoughts, feelings and anything they got up to in the day.
Musical instruments compliment these songs well and everyone can play at least one. 

Page Twenty

Art is less prominent on Space Planet than Earth because most Heady Leggys prefer to look at the world around them. They do enjoy some earth paintings but they enjoy them much more when repainted to depict Heady Leggies. 
While they may not enjoy looking at art, Heady Leggies love to make expressive marks whilest listening to their friends play music. They are big fans of the suprematist movement.
