Ein kleiner Alien-Fisch macht sich auf zu einer abenteuerlichen Reise. Vom Universum durch den Himmel, auf die Erde und hinunter in den Ozean. Nach einem Schläfchen auf einem Korallenriff steigt er wieder auf, durch den Ozean, in die Lüfte und nach Hause zu seiner Familie auf einem fernen Planeten.
Die kleine Maus ist unterwegs. Ihr Schiff nimmt hohe Wellen, die sie seekrank machen, bringt sie zu eisigen Bergen, auf denen sich Pinguine tummeln, und zu einem unterseeischen Vulkan, der das Wasser in der Antarktis warm macht. Doch immer will die kleine Maus wissen: Ist es noch weit? – Eine Frage, die mit diesem unterhaltsamen Reisebuch bestimmt gar nicht mehr zu hören sein wird.
