  Paint in your own space background with colored markers.

     More than anything Hedgie wants to be an astronaut and travel into space.   He gets his chance the day the geyser, Big Sparkler, starts to sputter and fade, disappointing all the alien tourists, who fly to the tiny planet of Mikkop to throw coins into Big Sparkler and look at the strange flowers that survive on its sparkles.

    Because only Hedgie can fit into a small space ship, he flies to Mikkop, where he not only finds out what is clogging up Big Sparkler, but fixes the problem in a most unusual way.  He returns home a hero amid cheers from the aliens and the scientist back at the Star Lab.
