* AlternateAesopInterpretation: The intended moral of the poem about Goldie Pinklesweet is "don't be dumb and eat medicines you're not supposed to", but for parents it can also be "don't leave young children unsupervised assuming they won't get into trouble". Goldie wouldn't have gotten into the laxatives if her grandma hadn't left her in the house alone so she could go into town and buy a double gin.

* ContestedSequel: On [[{{Sequelitis}} one hand]], the first half is padded, but at least tries something new; the second half is a retread of the misadventures of the naughty kids from the first book. On [[SurprisinglyImprovedSequel another hand]], the book is far more humorous than its predecessor.

* [[SpiritualSuccessor Spiritual Predecessor]]: The book can be sees as a kids version of Franchise/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy as they both are about a exentric man who takes the main character to different places in space and describe different things in space. Like the description of the Vermicious Knids and Minusland.

Aluminium Christmas trees is a YMMV trope

Added DiffLines:

* AluminumChristmasTrees: The President wonders how to entertain the aliens who have taken over a space station. Someone suggests fried Mars Bars. This is an actual UK delicacy.

* IdiotPlot: Reverting the grandparents to their original ages because Mrs Bucket doesn't trust the Wonka-Vite after what happened last time. Except it was made very obvious that the grandparents themselves took too much after Wonka had specifically explained they had to be carefully measured.

Added DiffLines:

* {{Adorkable}}: The President himself, when he reveals his ManChild nature, still calls Mrs Tibbs 'nanny' and has named his CuteKitten 'Mrs Taubsypuss'.
* AmericansHateTingle: The book is more obscure in America, due to the film adaptations of the first one being [[AdaptationDisplacement what most casual fans know of]], and likewise there was no film made of this one. It's better known in its native UK and the rest of Europe.

* {{Padding}}: The scenes with the President and his cabinet don’t advance the story and tend to last a while. Among other things, we get the President's nanny singing a song about raising him.
