History Trivia / LivingBooks

** Creator/TheLearningCompany made a series named ''[[VideoGame/ReaderRabbit Reader Rabbit's Reading Development Library]]''. It consisted on four games, each with two classic stories (e.g: the first game had ''[[Literature/{{Goldilocks}} Goldilocks and the Three Bears]]'' and ''Literature/TheThreeLittlePigs''). However, it is yet another one of the better clones due to the additional reading comprehension activities that each game had along with the opportunity of having each story be told [[Main/PerspectiveFlip from the point of view of two of its characters]].

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The titles based on ''Creator/DrSeuss'' books will likely never see release on modern tablet devices as Seuss's books are exclusively licensed to Oceanhouse Media, Inc. as far as interactive apps go. The same goes with Little Critter Just Grandma and Me. Mercifully, the CD-ROM versions are among the most reprinted in the series.

Because of that, it's safe to assume the series was made as a way to cash-in on the popularity of the ''The Tortoise and the Hare'' Living Book.

** GT Interactive did various ''[[Literature/LittleCritter Mercer Mayer]]'' stories, such as ''Just Me and My Mom'', ''Just Me and My Dad'', and ''[[VideoGame/TheSmellyMystery Little Monster Private Eye: The Smelly Mystery]]''. These were arguably some of the better clones though, as they made it less of an interactive book and more of a game. These are some of the few titles that are high enough quality (and similar enough in style) that some people mistakenly remember them being ''actual'' Living Books.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The ''Literature/GreenEggsAndHam'' Living Book had a clip where Sam-I-Am approached the then-unnamed grumpy character ([[NamedByTheAdaptation today]] [[WesternAnimation/GreenEggsAndHam2019 Guy-Am-I]]) on the plate of green eggs and ham in an oddly... suggestive pose. This didn't make it into the final game, but it appeared in a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mV3FkoB8rWA?t=2m11s prototype of the game's demo]] featured on the ''Berenstain Bears in the Dark'' title.

** Living Books and GT Interactive had entirely different interpretations of Little Monster. On the Living Books side of things, most of the characters sounded like young kids and were energetic, whereas they had [[VocalDissonance rather deep voices]] and were much more easy going when GT Interactive gave it a shot. It's also a bit weird to see Little Monster's pet Kerploppus go from [[AllAnimalsAreDogs acting like a dog]] to becoming a talking anthropomorphic character just like everyone else.
