Differences from the cartoon

 * After Binky rips his pants in the classroom, Arthur imagines him playing baseball in boxers; although Arthur did not imagine it in the cartoon, and it did not reveal if Binky was wearing boxers or briefs, but only partially showed his purple underwear with green dots from the rear end.


 * In Arthur's nightmare about being dressed up as Bionic Bunny and rescuing his friends being held captive by Mr. Ratburn as Verminator and then gets laughed at when he arrives, Arthur had on white briefs; but in the cartoon, he had on white boxers with red dots with the Bionic Bunny "B" on them.
 * Also in the dream, Mr. Ratburn as Verminator was dressed in purple; but in the cartoon, he was dressed in green.


 * When Buster has an underwear nightmare in the end, he was wearing orange Saturn boxers in the cartoon; but in this book, he was wearing white briefs.
