I appreciated that this book had multiple story lines so as to keep the plot from getting dry. However, there seemed to be some continuity errors. In a previous book, I thought someone had taken away the Glass Cat's vanity so that she stopped repeatedly saying "I've got pink brains and you can seem 'em work!" - yet in this book that phrase is said often. Also, near the end, Professor H.M. Wogglebug, T.E. is talking about his invention of the Square-Meal Tablets as if this is the first time we've heard of them, which it's not. Also I felt like Ruggedo and Kiki were very easily conquered even though they were the main antagonist of the story.
"...he had a son named Kiki Aru who was not famous at all. He was noted as being cross and disagreeable because he was not happy, and he was not happy because he wanted to go down the mountain and visit the big world below and his father would not let him. No one paid any attention to Kiki Aru, because he didn't amount to anything, anyway."
"This is always the way with wicked people. They cannot be trusted even by one another."
"They mix work and play so justly that both are delightful and satisfying and no one has any reason to complain."
