It is just not fair. All that adults ever say to the little boy is 'Don't do that! That's for big boys!' All The Way to The Stars is the perfect book for all small children who want to grow up immediately and experience everything that adults do, from eating every sweet in the sweet shop to building sandcastles on the Moon. But, even with his huge ideas, the little boy realizes that it's just as great to have the smaller luxuries in life like your toys...or your Mummy.
