Although it is [[AdaptationDisplacement not well-known]] at all at this point, the series is actually based on a series of books by Michael and Betty Paraskevas called ''The Ferocious Beast with the Polka-Dot Hide''. Somewhat unusually for shows of this type, both Michael and Betty Paraskevas were heavily involved in the show's creation and production, as well as subsequent book releases. The show was a production of Creator/{{Nelvana}}.
