Susie and her teddy bear Fluffy take a rocket into space and land on a shiny planet where something strange begins to move in the bushes.
One evening, Susie and her teddy bear Fluffy stood at the window and stared up at the stars.
"What if we could fly in a rocket and visit another planet?" Susie whispered.
At once, the little toy rocket on the shelf began to glow. It grew bigger and bigger until it was just the right size for Susie and Fluffy.
Susie climbed in first, holding Fluffy tight. With a soft whoosh, the rocket zoomed into the dark sky. Stars blinked all around them like tiny silver lights.
Then, far ahead, a planet appeared.
It shimmered in every colour Susie could think of. Bright specks sparkled on its surface, and shiny balls drifted slowly through the air around it.
"Fluffy, look," Susie breathed. "Something is happening there."
The rocket touched down on soft, dotted grass with a gentle bounce.
For one quiet moment, everything was still.
Then two long feelers slid up out of the bushes.
A funny voice chirped, "Lilac-buzz!"
Susie and Fluffy stared.
The feelers twitched once, then began to creep closer and closer....
