Trivia[]

Storybook Keep's music is a remix of the merit board and WiFi menu for Super Scribblenauts.

This level is called Storybook Cottage in the European Wii U version of Unlimited.
A majority of the Starite Shards and missions in the level are references to nursery rhymes and fairy tales.

- Panicked Piper! is a reference to the legend of the Pied Piper of Hamelin.

All of the descriptions for the Starite Shard missions rhyme in this level. This is done to replicate the writing of fairy tales, which are often written in rhyme.
- Shake Your Rumpel! makes no attempt to rhyme in its completed description, and is the only shard in the whole level to do this.
- Cradle and All!'s description and Panicked Piper!'s completed description are near-rhymes, and not perfect rhymes.
- Marriage Material!'s completed description rhymes with irregular pacing, attempting to rhyme the word "and" with "hand".
Storybook Keep was the largest level in Scribblenauts Unlimited prior to the release of Scribblenauts Mega Pack, where it was surpassed by Zed Zeppelin.
The shard Marriage Material! has differing outcomes based on which mattress the player fills. Depending on the one chosen, the peasant will turn into different NPCs different scenes will play out between them and Moury.
- Filling the top mattress will turn the peasant into a con artist. Moury will equip angry eyes and spray them with a spray bottle.
- Filling the second mattress from the top will turn the peasant into a massage therapist. Moury will lay down and get his back massaged by them.
- Filling the third mattress from the top will turn the peasant into a detective. Moury will give them a scale, the letters "L" "O" "L" will emerge from them, and they'll start dancing and laughing.
- Filling the third mattress from the bottom will turn the peasant into a movie star. They will start talking to Moury, who isn't interested. Eventually, Moury becomes bored and takes a nap on the mattresses himself.
- Filling the second mattress from the bottom will turn the peasant into an empress. Moury gives her a Bouquet, and she becomes embarrassed.
- Filling the bottom mattress will turn the peasant into a princess. Moury proposes by giving a diamond ring to her, and they fall in love with each other.
The completed description of Panicked Piper! breaks the fourth wall by acknowledging the existence of the player's screen.
After clearing Panicked Piper! the hypnotized rats put on different items based on what the Pied Piper was given. Possible items include wearing nothing, a pirate hat with an eye patch, a cowboy hat, a sombrero, a conical straw hat, a tam o shanter, a top hat with a monocle, a santa hat, a bowler hat with sunglasses, a turban, or a mohawk with goggles.
The Shard Mirror Mirror! uses a Guy Fawkes mask to represent the face in the magic mirror. In the Scribblenauts Mega Pack version, due to the removal of the Guy Fawkes mask, the mask was replaced with an unnamed comedy mask that cannot be spawned by the player.
For the shard The Nose Knows!, giving the dunce a saw or other tool to shorten his nose will have him toss it aside, with a text box saying "Oh No! I can't do it myself! I'm too afraid!"
An item can be spawned using the "@" method known as the @PinocchioNose, which at one point was likely intended for the shard The Nose Knows!.
The attempts to prevent the player from entering the upper left room until clearing the shard A Hairy Situation! by hiding a static vertical unwieldy byway behind the huge hairball. The byway doesn't cover the full opening, and it can be skipped by simply flying over it. The byway can also be seen by making the baritone invisible.
When using a solution that cuts the baritone's hair, numerous small hairballs spawn temporarily as a special effect. However, instead of coming from the huge hairball as they were likely intended to, they instead spawn up on the roof of the building.
Attempting to trap yourself is Hansel's chamber during Hansel and Gretel's Day Out will result in you being teleported outside of it once Baba Yaga closes the door.
- Reopening Hansel's chamber early by using cannibalistic girders to destroy the chamber walls will reveal that the entire chamber continues to teleport the player outside the main door, regardless of which direction they entered it from.
