1	!!How do those glasses stay on?
2	* Take a look at any character in this series who wears glasses and then stop for a moment. How do they stay on their face? The characters are drawn in such a way that the characters' ears are well below eye-level, so that the earbuds of the glasses rest well ''above'' their ears. Still, even if you ignore this (and, after all, it's also the case with WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}, though with his, the buds rest below the ears), there's still the fact that the glasses don't have any bridge in the middle! This gives them the appearance of being two independent parts, somehow resting separately on the characters' faces.
3	** It's the animation style, and I doubt the show's target audience would care.
4	*** Perhaps not, but there's still a very uncanny moment, in "A Billy Goat for Dad" in which Mr. Griff is shown briefly removing his and the right side appears to be floating. See it [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWvP2Yrilxc here]] at about 21:38.
5	!!How does the Book work?
6	* Are the Book's mechanics & workings ever explained?
7	** No, not really.
8	*** If memory serves, the book is some kind of magic.
9	*** Just by Harry and Elise singing it?
10	!!What is Lionel listening to
11	* Just what is Lionel listening to on those headphones of his? And why don't Mr. and Mrs. Griff ask to at least take them off for mealtimes?
12	** Notable: In one episode, Stanley becomes embarrassed because he thinks his ears stick out too much and wears a helmet to the dinner table. Lionel asks him what the deal with the helmet is and he retorts by asking Lionel what the deal is with the headphones. Mr. and Mrs. Griff make a new rule on the spot that neither helmets nor headphones are allowed when sitting down to eat at the dinner table. Lionel is surprisingly cool with it, removing his headphones without even seeming annoyed, but Stanley just says that he's done eating and asks to be excused. The rule doesn't seem to stick in later episodes.
13	!!Unanswered questions
14	* [[LampshadeHanging Why haven't any of these questions been answered?]]
15	** Well, one of them has been answered...
16	*** Plus this one! Yay!
17	!!Talking to animals
18	* How are Stanley's classmates able to talk to Dennis, Harry and Elsie?
19	** Perhaps for similar reasons why Kate can talk to Pal. Then again, in one episode, the Grandma also talks to the pets, so maybe these pets only talk to kids and old people?
20	!!Speak up, Dennis!
21	* Why can’t Dennis just speak up to Harry and Elise when they sing the Book song?
22	** Even if Dennis did attempt to complain about the singing, the complaints would probably fall on deaf ears. Plus him being annoyed with the singing is the joke.
23	*** Could he ask politely before singing?
