Books for Children
One's of Mark's recent posts reminded me of a book I used to read as a child called Struwwelpeter. My grandmother will be pleased to hear that it is now available online, complete with the original illustrations.
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.
Mamma comes home; there Conrad stands,
And looks quite sad, and shows his hands;-
"Ah!" said Mamma "I knew he'd come
To naughty little Suck-a-Thumb."
