Go-to-Sleep Ending: A meta example; the book ends with the narrator talking the reader into going to sleep. |

Failure Is the Only Option: Zizzer-Zoof seed salesmen are not very successful, because no one wants their wares. |

comment |
Agony of the Feet: The zizzer-zoof seed salesman's feet are said to be sore, though presumably this is from running around all day trying to sell their wares rather than from any injury. |

comment |
Ignorant About Fire: The Crandalls put candles on their heads before bed, knowing that they sleepwalk, so they know where they are when they wake up. They occasionally burn themselves but sleep through it all. |

No Full Name Given: The first names of the Herk-Heimer Sisters are unknown.

We don't know the first names of Mr. and Mrs. J Carmichael Krox, nor what the "J" stands for. |
