Story overview

Hazel the rabbit accidentally launches her homemade tin-can rocket into space and lands on a pink planet where everything is bouncy. She meets a floating space-pig and they spend the afternoon bouncing around. When she gets tired and ready for her daily nap, Hazel flies her rocket back home to her garden and goes to sleep in her own cozy bed.

Where exactly could a pocket-sized rocket fly? Hazel the rabbit wanted to find out.

Hazel liked her daily morning routine very much. First, she ate a bowl of crunchy carrots. Next, she worked on her tiny tin-can rocket in the garden. Finally, she took a cozy afternoon nap. But today was special. Today, the little silver spaceship was finally finished!

Hazel wiggled her fluffy nose. This was exciting! She climbed inside the snug little cabin. She only wanted to test the comfy seat. But oops! Her soft paw bumped a bright red button on the dashboard.

*Whoosh!* *Zoom!*

Orange flames shot out of the bottom. The rocket zoomed up, up, up! It zipped past the white clouds and right into sparkly space.
