Book Reviews of Struwwelpeter in English Translation (Dover Children's Classics)
Book Review: Classic and disturbing with the original art
Summary: 5 Stars
This edition has the original (so far as I know) artwork and it's still disturbing after more than a century. There's another edition with excruciatingly vile new artwork that's sure to shake up even a hardened MTV tube-head kid, but I'm a sucker for the classics. Makes a great gift with the biggest pair of scissors you can find.Book Review: Naughty Peter won't comb his hair or cut his nails! (1848)
Summary: 5 Stars
Cautionary tales written and illustrated by a German psychiatrist over 150 years ago continue to alarum children and amuse parents. Racial intolerance is the target in "The Inky Boys," vicious acts in "Cruel Frederick," and of course hygiene in the title story "Shock-Headed Peter.".Book Review: Great book
Summary: 5 Stars
My sister and I had this book when we were little. Now I bought it for my daughter in English translation. The book is just supposed to teach kids lessons (didn't quite work for me, though). Fun little book!Book Review: English Struwwelpeter
Summary: 5 Stars
Growing up, my Mom read this book to me and now I can read it to my son. The English translation is accurate and the meaning from the original (German) text is not altered one bit.Book Review: Happy with "Struwpie"
Summary: 5 Stars
I had ordered 2 copies which arrived promptly and in excellent condition. My mom is a native born German and was VERY happy and surprised to receive a memorial gift from her youth!
