- The books were translated in The Netherlands as Sesamstraat Letterboeken (Letter Books), as part of the 1986 Sesamstraat Kijk-, Lees- & Doe-Club book series by Lekturama. Since the translated alphabetized topics did not exactly match the number of pages of the separate Australian books, the different letters were spread out over different books. The Dutch series consisted of 12 books instead of 15, with some minor modifications to the contents (a few topics were left out and some letter title pages were modified to reflect the contents of the book). Like the other books in the Lekturama series, each volume also contained a story written by Sesamstraat actor Lex Goudsmit.
- Portions of the encyclopedia were also translated for the Dutch Sesamstraat books Het boek van Ienie Mienie en haar vriendjes, Het Koekie Monster Kookboek (recipes), and the children's magazine Bobo.
