Now, what a treat we have here, another story from the brilliant storytelling duo Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler. This story has gone interstellar and is set in space, with a variety of wonderful aliens and colourful planets.
The rocket has three round windows and a pointed nose cone with a big window. On the far left, grey smoke is pluming out of the base of the rocket and a yellow cable is attached here too. Perhaps the rocket is fuelling up and is nearly ready for lift-off! (SFX rocket taking off)
Come on Smeds, quickly climb on board! (SFX rocket)
The picture below shows the blue rocket zooming through space - orange and yellow flames firing out. There's three windows with blue and red faces peeping out! Hooray the Smeds have joined the Smoos to search for Bill and Janet.
