Year 1 - 5 lessons

A young boy builds himself a rocket and sends himself off to Space.  He lands on a faraway planet.  His spaceship breaks down, a friendly alien lands and he breaks down too.  The little boy parachutes to earth to get some tools to fix the ship.  He gets back by way of a huge ladder, fixes the machines and then they both fly off.
It is a really simple adventure (cross-genre) story.
