"More?"

Charles Dickens (1812-1870) was a Victorian novelist who penned such works as Great Expectations, Pickwick Papers, and Oliver Twist. Perhaps his best-known work is A Christmas Carol, used as the basis for The Muppet Christmas Carol and for portions of A Sesame Street Christmas Carol.

This is a reference to Dickens' novel A Tale of Two Cities, which opens with the famous line, "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times." Similarly, Bert's book replaces "times" with "oatmeals."
