Trivia

This is the second time Periwinkle skidoos. The first time was in Periwinkle Misses His Friend.

When Joe writes wiggle lines on his paper, we heard the trombone or tuba noise.

Goofs

In the DirecTV guide of this episode, Steve Burns is accidentally added to the cast.
When coming up with things to represent themselves for the "Big Book About Us," the characters have all conveniently forgotten about the things they collected in Blue's Collection.
In this episode, Sidetable states that her favorite color is purple. But in Colors Everywhere! she states that her favorite color is orange.
- Her favorite color was the rainbow in Colors Everywhere with Blue
- This is a total goof that she might have more then one favorite color.
This episode is listed as a Season 4 episode on streaming services, such as Amazon Prime and iTunes.
- The same thing happens in Can You Help?, I'm So Happy!, The Boat Float, and The Scavenger Hunt.
  - This is the first season five produced episode.
  - Another goof similar to this is that on the streaming services listed above, this episode is listed before Joe's First Day, Joe Gets a Clue, and Steve Goes to College.
- It's likely this episode was accidently swapped with Puppets as a similar situation happened to that episode but in reverse.
