Here are some of Amazon’s Excellent Reviews
- "This book is a masterpiece of children's literature, from an age when "cautionary tales" were used to instill good behaviour and moral values. And the more gruesome those tales, the better!
I'm sure that, even back then, adults thought these stories were educational, but kids just thought they were funny. But there's a more serious side to this book. So, yes, I laugh out loud at the poems in this book, because they are so ludicrously exaggerated and gruesome that it's hard to believe they were meant for little children.“
