* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: One of the conceits of the series is that the name of every character in Alpha Betty's class, all 26 of them, starts with a different letter. However, in each adventure, the particular character generally spends time with other characters not in the class whose name starts with the same letter. For example, in ''Gertie Gorilla's Glorious Gift'', she attends a birthday party for Godfrey Goat and gets help from Gary Gazelle.

*ConstantlyCurious: This is the defining trait of Quentin Quokka in ''Quentin Quokka's Quick Questions''.
*DisembodiedEyebrows: In some scenes in ''Hanna Hippo's Horrible Hiccups'', Hanna is depicted as having disembodied eyebrows. Other characters have these as well.
*FunnyAnimals: Although the books include info about the real animal at the end, they are more about teaching vocabulary and phonemic awareness. The characters attend school and while they have certain traits unique to their particular animal (i.e. a jumpy jackrabbit), their behaviors and concerns are otherwise human. It's also a WorldOfFunnyAnimals.
*HiccupHijinks: It's the featured trope of ''Hanna Hippo's Horrible Hiccups''.
