This turn-of-the-century Americanization of the famous morality tales of Dr. Heinrich Hoffman is sure to please the darker side of older girls. Not for the faint of heart, these tales, though classics, are the stern stuff of a Victorian era, which in today's light can be quite entertaining.

This is a nice compliment for Slovenly Peter which works for boys. This is the girls version. It gives parents an opportunity to teach children with a little "tongue in cheek".

Old fashioned stories with a message,

This review is from: Slovenly Betsy (Wee Books for Wee Folk) (Hardcover)
My kids love these little old fashioned stories because they are so un PC and a bit shocking. The story they tell is remembered and leaves the reader/listener wide eyed.
