Little Monster wants to be a space explorer but worries about leaving his parents. However, after discussing his future adventures with Father Monster, he concludes "you have to be lonely to do some things." And of course, he'll return to his parents someday. The satisfying story of Little Monster remaining in charge of his fantasy is accompanied by whimsical illustrations, which effectively portray his imaginary journey.
