YMMV / Der Struwwelpeter

• Fair for Its Day: The collection came out in 1845. "Don't tease the black kid" and "be nice to animals" were kind of progressive at the time.
• Funny Moments: "The Story of the Wild Huntsman".
• Nightmare Fuel: Most of the stories, especially "The Story of Little Suck-a-Thumb".
  The door flew open, in he ran,
  The great, long, red-legged scissor-man.
  Oh! children, see! the tailor's come
  And caught out little Suck-a-Thumb.
  Snip! Snap! Snip! the scissors go;
  —>And Conrad cries out "Oh! Oh! Oh!"
  Snip! Snap! Snip! They go so fast,
  That both his thumbs are off at last.
