Superboy has a parent-sized problem in this officially licensed DC picture book celebrating individuality while being the child of Superman and Lois Lane.

A school project has Jon Kent, the son of Superman-the World's Greatest Super Hero-and Lois Lane-the world's most famous reporter-trying to figure out who he wants to be when he grows up. How will he ever live up to his parents' success? And will they be disappointed with him if he doesn't?

As Jon and his loyal canine companion, Krypto, travel everywhere from Metropolis to The Fortress of Solitude to outer space, they explore the qualities that make his parents so great and put them to the test when a situation arises that requires Jon to act alone.

In this official DC picture book, readers will follow Jon's adventure of self-discovery as he comes to understand that-just as there's only one Superman and one Lois Lane- there's only one Superboy . . . and he's up to the challenge.
