Bob Staake's Struwwelpeter (2006) is a modern version of Heinrich Hoffmann's 1845 German cautionary children's book. This copy has been signed, inscribed, dated, drawn in, and even clipped by Mr. Staake. The drawing refers to what purportedly happens to children who suck their thumbs. The book was purchased at Yellow Umbrella Books in Chatham.
Note: Here is the official website for Bob Staake's Struwwelpeter: The world's most nightmarish children's book. Don't say you weren't warned.
After this, my earlier blog posts on Bob Staake will seem tame.
I have been diligently reporting on my stay in Cape Cod. There's still more to come.
Bob Staake's official website is bobstaake.com. Me, I wouldn't have guessed.
Did you know this blog has a lot more to say about children's books? I'll bet you did...
