Plot

When Dot accidentally eats a magic root and shrinks to the size of an insect, she is suddenly alone in a world of giant creatures and overwhelming bushland, but her previous good deed, rescuing a helpless mosquito and dragonfly from the peril of a spider's web, guarantees her two reliable and helpful friends.
