Revealing mistake: Simmons' Documentary: When Phoebe asks Mr. Simmons, "If we're required to do book reports, do we need to choose a book?", her mouth disappears twice. This is easier to see in slow motion, but it's still visible at normal speed. (00:04:27)
Simmons' Documentary / Big Bob's Crisis - S5-E20
Continuity mistake: Simmons' Documentary: When Mr. Simmons explains the documentary and the kids leave the classroom, Arnold is holding a purple book. In the next shot, it changes direction while in his hand. (00:01:50)
Answer: The episode doesn't really elaborate on who the kid was and what his motives were, so its pure speculation as to why he took it. Perhaps the kid could simply want a ball all for himself and decided to just take it, or was simply a rotten kid. The truth is the kid's motives are not important to the story other than it highlights Arnold was having a lot of trouble getting through the list.
