But we can't linger on that little conundrum too long, because the kids have more sights to see, like some passing sheep talking a stroll in the night, as sheep are prone to do.
One of the kiddos claims that they would never walk; they would take a car (164-169). Obviously.
There is also a creature that the kid can't stand because he yells all day. (170-176). Another one is quiet, and so it's cool to have him in the house (177-180).
They also have a Zans in their kitchen. Why? To open cans (181-190). Duh.
How useful! First, bike-pushing Mike, and now can-opening Zans. We're getting kind of jealous.
And we're about to get more so. Let's meet some new creatures, shall we?
The boy likes to box, and a creature named the Gox helps him every day (190-197), all Clint Eastwood-like.
When the boy sings in the shower, the Ying sings, too (199-206). Two things: (1) Here's hoping he's not tone deaf, and (2) Can we join? We'll take tenor.
There is also one called the Yink, which has the odd habit of winking and drinking pink ink (207-221), which sounds not at all tasty, but to each his own.
And a Yop is a tiny creature that hops from one finger top to another (222-238). Too cute.
The girl has a pet with beautiful blue hair that's fun to brush and comb (239-249).
One pet is just simply wet, wetter than any other imaginable pet (250-257).
