  • Despite Bathtime and Silver Bells That Ring In The Night not being included in the North American CD or cassette, they are still available on the digital versions.
  • In the North American back cover, trademark symbols were added to the Wiggly Friends' names in Dorothy The Dinosaur (Tell Me Who Is That Knocking?), Captain Feathersword's Raincoat Story and Henry the Octopus, while on the disc and booklet a trademark symbol was added to We're Dancing With Wags The Dog.
