Goofs, Errors, Corrections and Differences
- Most of the titles you will see in the book are in a rectangular banner on the video but the same color back ground for behind the title words.
- On page 1 on the video, everything is pretty much the same as it was, the color smoke appears as Hooey is mentioning how bad the words in the book are.
- On page 2 on the video of the book book, the three signs "Fresh, Fresher and Freshest" are used and taken from the needles they were currently on, then were placed back on their needles, and Finney's big fork is over painted, before the fishes appear the was of his apron is drawn in before the "Fresher" sign covers it and the last fish opens his eye briefly and closes it after the narrator says "Fetch me the finest French-fried Freshest fish that Finney fries!" This might prove that the fish might be alive and not dead.
- Page 4-5 of the video of the book, Dinn the dinosaur skeleton's shin is a bit different from the one in the book, and the logo that says "Dinn's Shin" it was a bit more closer to the skeleton than it was in the book. Blinn the Pinner is nowhere to be seen at this time at first. In the book the shin piece is spotted behind Dinn's tail and two back feet, but in the video, the shin bone that then falls out of Dinn's left shin only falls straight down off. Blinn appears in the scene as his name was mentioned, but two steps away from his normal standing point in the book. Dinn's shin bone is back in his left front shin with one of Blinn's pins keeping it in place.
- On page 7-8 on the video of this book everything is pretty much the same as the Bed Spreader "in motion" spreads his bed sheet on the bed while the Bread Spreader "in motion" is spreading his toasted bread with butter. The bed linen is then tossed on the Bread Spreader's head.
- Page 8 of the video of the book, when you see the ape eating grape cakes repeatedly the amount of grapes stays the same on his plate.
- The dog wearing a jumpsuit holding a mirror on page 9 of the video and the question mark is in a white background but he was in a yellow background in the book on page 9.

Then, you will see the Grox in the box but the man is missing. Later, then the scene is back to how it normally was in the book.
- Page 11 of the video of the book, another dog creature holding a simple thimble and a single shingle is looking at the viewers then looks at the thimble and the camera slowly zooms out.
- Page 12-13, everything is the same in camera movements where you see Captain Skipper Zipp allowing customers to come on his ship to eat. The Sailor Bird then flaps his hands up telling the viewers not to give up because the next tongue twister is easy!"
- In the Fuddnuddlers, you will see the Dog from page 9 holding the Fuddnuddler's flag instead of his mirror, then the scene goes to page 15 and back to 14 of the book.

- In page 35 of the video of the book. Dwight is 1 step closer if you look in the bush in the background of the book and look at the bush in the background of the video. Dwight's light isn't on at the time until the narrator mention's about it. Only 4 birds were in this scene but, in the video, their were 5.
