The musical interlude of Chief’s dream

(Chapter 1) is @ parody of the Song
“The Greatest Love of ALL” by Michael
Masser, with lyrics by Linda Creed.

Petey’s red cardigan Sweater and tie

were based on the clothing often worn
by beloved children’s television host
Mister Rogers.

On page 123, Petey is paraphrasing

John 8:7 (NIV).

Petey’s Youthful “mistakes” and “bad choices”

were chronicled in the graphic novel where
he first appeared, Super Dia Per Baby 2:
The Invasion of the Potty Snatchers.
The title of Chapter [5 is the final line of the
1927 song “Stardust” by Hoaay Carmichael,
with lyrics by Mitchell Parish.

This book was inspired by the two Songs

mentioned above, the Quote on Page 6,
and the law of conservation of energy
(a.k.a. the first law of thermodynamics),
