Priceless humour, that is!

Interestingly, both Goodnight Moon and Dune give me, for lack of a better term, "the creeps" but in almost diametrically opposite ways: the former, with its subtle existentialist undertones that practically abandon the reader to the barren nothingness of the night air (before returning the reader to the at least marginally familiar/human "noises everywhere"), and the latter, with its overtly messianic themes that seem to make it plain that practically nothing is beyond human reach (e.g., even vast lengths of outer space can be moulded by (altered) human minds to suit human ends), and all is brimming with Being.  BRRRR!!! Edvard Munch moment!  :o

P.S.

GG, I think the exact title is The Berenstain Bears Learn About Strangers.

The Kirk and Spock are friends had me laughing, the way he gave them those stupid frog and toad faces was really brilliant.
