* DarkerAndEdgier: This was the start of Seuss's more somber stories, although it's still fairly light. The ending is especially unusual: Instead of a happy ending in Solla Sollew like most children's books would have, the protagonist discovers that the door is locked and the doorman cannot unlock it because of a Key Slapping Slippard in the door. It even considers the possibility of ''killing'' the Slippard, noticeably averting NeverSayDie in the process. (Granted, that’s rejected, since it’s considered seriously bad luck.) At the end the hero concludes ViolenceReallyIsTheAnswer and returns home to face his problems with a bat.
