The French version of the game features numerous differences from the US version:

• Both the auto play screen and the title screen are different, with the former using different artwork for the characters and the latter having a different design altogether.
• The Radio activity features six songs instead of eight, with four of those songs being completely different from the US version ("La chanson des nombres", "Hé mouche", "Promenons-nous dans les bois", and "La cucaracha"), and the two songs based on songs from the US version using different instruments and melodies as well as being shorter. The buttons were altered accordingly with only six present, and the four songs added in the French version use different graphics.
• The graphics for the decorations seen in the Clock activity were altered. The two sun and moon designs at the top were replaced with a different combined sun/moon design in the bottom-right corner, and instead of two green leaf designs at the bottom like in the original, there are three wood-colored leaf designs at the top and bottom-left corners. Additionally, the time display was changed from a 12-hour clock to a 24-hour clock.
• 9 holidays from the original game were completely omitted from the Bulletin Board in the French release, while others were replaced with different holidays. These include Martin Luther King Jr. Day being replaced by Epiphany, Easter being replaced by April Fool's Day, and Veteran's Day, Election Day and Thanksgiving all being replaced by Armistice Day.
• The Picnic area seems to have been deliberately removed from the French version, as it is completely absent in-game and in the manual, and interacting with the picnic basket in the backyard does nothing.
• In the French version, whenever a sound effect plays or a character speaks, the background music will stop playing until they are done. In the US version, the sound effects and dialogue will play over top of the background music.
