In one of the writing sections, one of the verbal "prompts" in the journal has the dragon worrying that Reader is getting too close to the edge of the tower. Foreshadowing: Second Grade gives multiple early hints that the dragon doesn't have any malicious intentions (and relatedly, Reader Rabbit doesn't need saving from him). 
He tries to justify it by singing about how no one wants to hug a porcupine but it's clearly not an excuse.
For the Evulz: Spike in Jump Start 1st Grade steals the theater props for the thrill. Also, Wonder Pony talks-Wonder Pony doesn't speak in the later titles. 
Mat is drawn differently and Reader still retained his older 92-95 looks.
Early Installment Weirdness: Reader Rabbit and Friends: Let's Start Learning has a few. Determinator: In Second Grade, Sam is very determined to find Reader Rabbit and won't give up, no matter how long he has to search or how many times he falls through various towers. Mat has a minimal (or nonexistent) role in most of the other games, but she is the lead character in Reader Rabbit Playtime for Baby, Reader Rabbit Toddler, Reader Rabbit and Friends: Let's Start Learning, Reader Rabbit Preschool and Reader Rabbit Kindergarten. Sam the lion, who is usually a supporting character, became the main character of 2nd Grade. Cool Boat: Reader and Sam's flying Dreamship. Compilation Re Release: Reader Rabbit's Playtime for Baby and Reader Rabbit Toddler was eventually combined into a single disc release called Reader Rabbit's Playtime for Baby and Toddler, with a bonus Fly the Dreamship game thrown in the later versions of the disc (which stands out as a sore thumb because the Dreamship is not part of the pre-2001 canon that the other two games are). Apart from Reader Rabbit, only Sam the Lion and the Pi-Rats were retained. Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Nearly all of the supporting characters from the late 1990s titles were left out of the 2001 reboot. A Dog Named "Dog": Baby Bear and Papa Bear, minor characters from the late 1990s games. After they all bid farewell, Buster flies Sam to his castle. Sam finds his imagination, while Mat and Reader find a home of their own to make. Bittersweet Ending: Reading Journey 2 has one. Reader quickly tells him the dragon is a friend. Having hunted through the entire castle, Sam finally finds Reader Rabbit and announces that he's here to save him from the dragon. In some of the stories for Reading Journey 2, Buster saves Reader, Sam and Mat.
