* [[AnAesop Aesop]]:
** In ''(Learn to Read at) The Storybook Factory'', the lesson is that you should take your time and be patience if you want things to get done quickly.
** In "The Letter Factory", Tad learns that every letter makes different sounds.

In 2012, it appears that [=LeapFrog=] had gotten tired of Leap, Lily and Tad and decided to focus on Scout and his friends instead (not surprising, as at that time, Scout and Violet were Leapfrog's cash cow and toys from the company of that period primarily featured the two puppies). The result was the first two ''Scout and Friends'' video, ''Phonics Farm'' and ''Numberland'', following a new continuity. This was followed by ''Adventures in Shapeville Park'' and ''The Magnificent Museum of Opposite Words'' in 2013.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: In (''Learn to Read at'') ''The Storybook Factory'', while everyone was making a play of "The Three Little Pigs", Tim accidentally turns the switch of an enormous fan (which was used when Dot took the role of the Big Bad Wolf blowing down the brick house) to VERY HIGH, causing a massive tornado to go into the factory, and sending everyone flying and screaming. That is, everyone except Casey, Della, and Dan, since they (in light playing the titular pigs of the story) were all inside the brick house. Luckily for Dot, the minute she got sent flying as well, she was caught by her brother Dan and was let inside the brick house for her safety. Unfortunately, when Leap manages to finally turn the fan off, the set ends up being a complete mess.
