In his dream, Little Critter turns into a monster that is so scary that he can do whatever he wants, but he discovers that he does not like being alone.
All the many things a young child can do independently are demonstrated, (tying shoes, riding a bike, kicking a ball), but there is one thing the child cannot do alone.
Collects six stories starring Little Critter, in which he trains for a race, builds a snowman, spends the weekend with his grandparents, and works on a project for the science fair.
