Answer: Snake
"The Bad Beginning" was first released in 1999. This is when the Baudelaires' misfortune begins. At the end of the novel, there is a picture, which shows the final scene from the book. The picture also has a snake in the left bottom corner, which gives a clue about the next book, "The Reptile Room".

Answer: Black
Violet's hair ribbon, given to her by her late mother, reflects a great deal about Violet's own personality: a plain, no-frills, black ribbon she uses to keep the hair out of her eyes while she's spot-welding. Violet has gone on record stating her abhorrence of anything pink and lacy; "Function over fashion".

"The Wide Window" was released in 2000. The Buadelaires journeyed to the town known as Lake Lachrymose. They stay with their Aunt Josephine, who suffers from just about every fear possible. In one room she has a large window that looks out on Lake Lachrymose, where deadly leeches are said to reside. In the final picture, we see a picture of Mr. Poe, but in the background there is a sign with a pair of eyes, which hints at Olaf's next disguise.

Answer: School Bus
The fourth book of Lemony Snicket's "Series of Unfortunate Events" takes the Baudelaire children to a lumber mill. There they work far harder than three children should work. Near the mill is an optometrist's office, where Olaf is disguised as a receptionist. In the background of the final picture from "The Miserable Mill" (2000), you can see some children entering a school bus, which gives us a sneak peak of what is to come.

Answer: Anagrams
There is evidence that Olaf has been using anagrams as a means of disguise since before the schism. "Al Funcoot", "(Dr.) Flacutono", and "(Mr.) O. Lucafont" are all anagrams of his name used by himself and his henchmen; the last name of his character "Shirley" is an anagram for "receptionist"; and once, when Olaf kidnapped Violet in a hospital, he used an anagram of her name on the patient list in an attempt to conceal her location from her siblings.

Answer: Foreman Flacutono
Foreman Flacutono is actually a member of Count Olaf's theater troupe. Flacutono happens to be an anagram of Count Olaf, as are many names in the "Series of Unfortunate Events."

Answer: Bumper sticker
"The Austere Academy" was released in 2000. The Baudelaire children are taken to a school, where even more unfortunate events take place. This is where Olaf disguises himself as a gym teacher, and makes the Baudelaires run all night long. The final picture shows a salmon on the bumper sticker, which references the Cafe Salmonella (it's 'in') from the next book.

Answer: Chewing gum
The sign was written with the leftovers of all the lunches ever served at Lucky Smells; workers were given one stick apiece and allowed five minutes' chewing time at noon. Mr. Snicket once wrote that it was the second-most disgusting sign he has ever seen, its superior having been made entirely from human skulls. (The inordinate number of issues of "The Daily Punctilio" sitting out front were, in fact, the official newspaper library for V.F.D.)

"The Ersatz Elevator" was released in 2001, and takes the Baudelaires to 667 Dark Avenue. They stay with Esme Squalor, a woman obsessed with what's "in" and what isn't. Parsley soda was "in", for a time, and though she thought it was disgusting, she drank it simply because it was "in". Cafe Salmonella was an "in" restaurant, so she ate there a lot. The final picture has a small crow flying in the background, which foreshadows the next book in the series.

"The Vile Village" was released in 2001. In this book, the Baudelaires are taken to the Village of Fowl Devotees, where crows act as the town's clock. The children do not like the town, though Hector, the man that they stay with, is very nice to them. The picture at the end showed a copy of the newspaper called "The Daily Punctilio". On it was an ad for the Last Chance General Store, which gives us a little taste of events to come.
