Once upon a time, in a land of dinosaurs, there lived a friendly dinosaur named Dotty. Dotty loved exploring and learning about new things. One day, Dotty had a brilliant idea. She wanted to go to space and learn about the planets!
Dotty went to her dinosaur friends and told them about her idea. They were excited and decided to help her. Together, they built a spaceship out of leaves, twigs, and rocks. It was small but strong enough to take Dotty to space.
With a cheer from her friends, Dotty got inside the spaceship. She fastened her seatbelt and prepared for takeoff. Just as the spaceship launched, Dotty waved goodbye to her friends as they shrunk into tiny dots in the distance.
As Dotty traveled through space, she saw many wondrous things. The planets glittered like colorful marbles. She flew close to Mercury, the closest planet to the Sun, and felt its intense heat. Then she saw Venus, covered in thick clouds. Mars looked rusty red, and Jupiter was so huge with swirling storms. Saturn's rings mesmerized her, and Uranus and Neptune were icy and blue.
Dotty realized she had learned so much about the planets, but it was time to go back home. She turned the spaceship around and aimed for Earth. With a big whoosh, she re-entered the atmosphere and landed safely in the dinosaur valley. Her dinosaur friends rushed to welcome her back with hugs and cheers.
