Synopsis[]
"What is more important than spending time with Dad at the Annual Dad and Kids Games Day? SpongeBob does not think anything else is, until he believes the grand prize is a gold-plated spatula!
They do lots of activities, but in the end Plankton and his dad win, and do an interview on how they won the games. They also get their names engraved on a rock."
Trivia[]
General[]
- The cover of this book was featured in a Twitter post by Nickelodeon with a few differences.[1]
- The list of events that the dads and their kids won:
- Squidward and his dad won the bubble blowing activity and lost the sandcastle-building activity.
- SpongeBob and his dad won the jellyfishing activity.
- Sandy and her dad won the racing activity.
- Plankton and his dad won the badminton activity and won the entire show.
- This book is the first time that the dads of Sandy, Plankton, and Squidward are depicted in the franchise. All of them would appear later with different designs:
- Plankton's parents appear in "Blood is Thicker Than Grease" and "In the Mood to Feud."
- Sandy's parents appear in Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Movie. They are also seen younger in a picture in "Surf N' Turf," and SpongeBob pretends to be Sandy's dad in "Sandy, SpongeBob, and the Worm."
- Squidward's dad makes a full physical appearance in "Momageddon," after first appearing from the legs down in a flashback in "Kamp Kow" and being mentioned in "Krab Borg."
Errors[]
- On the cover, Herb's mustache is light brown instead of gray like in the show, and this error was not fixed on the Kindle reprint cover.
- On the cover, Harold's hat is yellow with an orange stripe instead of a white top, tan bottom, and brown stripe, and this error was not fixed on the reprint covers.
- In one page in the book, Patrick's eyelids are pink instead of purple.
