Description: Uses animation to tell the fantasy of Jonelle, a little girl who liked to look at the stars and built a cardboard telescope to bring the stars close enough to nearly touch. Shows how Jonelle's cousin visits her and, thinking the telescope would make a good rocket, launches it through the window where it is crushed by the traffic below. Concludes with Jonelle looking out the window without a telescope, only to discover that her imagination is as powerful as her cardboard telescope in making the stars and planets come close.
