Suddenly, Celia Crocodile spots a spark in the sky.
Is that a shooting star?
No, it’s a space rocket heading straight for Animal Town!
! K ee 5
The rocket lands. The animals are scared. Then, a green alien hops out! Hello. My name is Glob Glorp. I need help. The powerful King Viking and his mighty Robot Army are causing trouble in outer space!
Animal Town is shocked that King Viking is causing trouble in space. But Super Rabbit Boy is ready. Don’t worry, Glob Glorp! I can stop King Viking!
Really? Thank you so much!
Now, how will I get to space?
7
I know! You can borrow my rocket!
Sadly, it is not very fast, and its laser is very weak. It is only a Level 1 rocket.
8
I’m sure it will be fine. Don’t worry, Glob Glorp. I’ll deal with King Viking!

Up, Up,
and aWaY!
Super Rabbit Boy is in space. Stars and planets are everywhere.
Wow, space is amazing!

Super Rabbit Boy starts his search for King Viking. But the rocket moves slowly. Glob Glorp is right. This rocket is not very fast! I hope King Viking is close by or I will never find him!
Suddenly, he spots action up ahead. What is that?
11
It’s an army of King Viking’s Rocket-Robos.
BOOP! It’s Super Rabbit Boy!
BEEP! What is he doing in space?
BEEP! BOOP! GET HIM!
12
Super Rabbit Boy swoops into action. It’s time to test out this rocket’s laser!
He tests the laser on the zooming RocketRobos. They’re hard to stop!
This is tricky!
13
The Level 1 rocket has a very weak laser. But Super Rabbit Boy learns how to make it work. BEEP!
I’m getting the hang of this!
He needs to get the Rocket-Robos three times each to stop them.
BOOP!
14
Super Rabbit Boy stops the final RocketRobo. The whole army has been beaten!
Did I beat all of them?
Super Rabbit Boy sees a flash in the distance. Wait, what is that?
15
It’s a giant Rocket-Robo Boss! The Boss is attacking a space station with its laser cannons! BOOP! BOOP! Give me all of your metal!
Don’t take our metal!
Oh no! 16
Help! Help!
Super Rabbit Boy is ready. But his Level 1 rocket is so weak. The Rocket-Robo Boss is stronger than the Rocket-Robos. Will he be able to defeat the Rocket-Robo Boss?
Boing! Boing! Here I go!
