Trivia[]
- In "The Tortoise and the Hare", the "The End" screen does not have the words "The End". Instead, Simon pops up in his living room saying "and that's the end of our story."
- Not including "The Tortoise and the Hare", "Dr. Seuss' ABC" is the first Living Book to not feature the original plain background The End screen (although "Sheila Rae the Brave" has the original plain background The End screen).
- The original versions of the first two Living Books games in North America have the The End screen in English, regardless of what language dubbed. The same goes with Just Grandma and Me V2 (despite having more languages than V1).
- In the end screen for Green Eggs and Ham, Guy says, "You know, Sam, this could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship". This may shout-out the film "Casablanca", by Warner Bros., who also made the series.
