* While the children's books published during the original show's run typically feature straightforward stories typical of any children's book, some of them have their moments. One example is ''Gobo and the Prize from Outer Space''. It's easy to tell the author of this book had ''a lot'' of fun writing it. It starts with Gobo retrieving what he thinks is a postcard from his uncle from Doc's workshop. It turns out to be a contest entry form offering several different prizes, including a $5,000 cash prize (Boober insists dollar bills are poisonous leaves) and an all-expenses-paid-trip to UsefulNotes/NewYorkCity (Mokey sees a picture of skyscrapers and decides this wouldn't be a good idea, as they already have ''enough'' Doozer constructions to eat).
** The Fraggle Five finally decide to enter the drawing to win a bicycle, but can't agree on whose bike it should be, and end up [[SilentTreatment not speaking to each other]]. Red makes sure her dives are in just the right position to splash Mokey, Boober refuses to cook for his ex-friends and makes "the tiniest radish pie in the history of Fraggle Rock," and Wembley wembles on how to express his anger, alternating between tantrums, sulking, and cool indifference. Finally, Gobo gets the Five to make up, just in time to discover that they've won the prize drawing for the bicycle, which turns out to be too big for ''any'' of them to use. At least Doc gets some use out of it, much to the dismay of Sprocket, who wants to use the bike to visit his girlfriend (stated in this book to be a spaniel).
