Literature: Theres A Wocket In My Pocket

"Some of them are very friendly. Like the Yot in the Pot. But that Yottle in the Bottle! Some are friendly. Some are NOT."

—There's A Wocket In My Pocket

There's a Wocket in my Pocket is a children's rhyming book by Dr. Seuss. Each page has a picture of a strange imaginary creature with a nonsense name which rhymes with its hiding place, as in the title. As it says, "some are friendly, some are not."

This work contains examples of:

Interspecies Friendship: "But the Yeps on the steps, they're great fun to have around. And so are many, many other friends that I have found."
Non-Indicative Name: There are, in fact, no wockets in the book. Or pockets.
Nothing Is Scarier: The Vug under the Rug may be only a nondescript lump, but it's "the only one I'm really scared of," according to the narrator.
Perfectly Cromulent Word: Like anything by Dr. Seuss.
Things that Go Bump in the Night: The Vug under the Rug.
