1. I love that book.
How about "Cloudy with a chance of meatballs"? Another great kid's book.

6. Yes indeed.
Loved it. Still have a copy.

BTW, if you are ever in my area, there is a fantastic attraction based on the book. At the metreon in San Francisco

8. Did anyone catch the homage in Miyazaki's "Spirited Away"?
Near the beginning, there were a few "wild things" mixed in with the other creatures in the bathhouse of the spirits.

I took it as a graceful gesture of respect from one utter genius to another.
