- The 19th century really did know how to make a good cautionary tale for children.

- It reminds me of a story my mother told me. One of her friends was trying to teach her 5 year old child to stay away from the balcony, which was kinda rickety. So she took a water ballon, and showed her child what happened when she threw the balloon off the balcony. "See?", she said, "that could be you." The child started crying. My mother grossly disapproved, but still seemed to enjoy telling the story ;-) In all seriousness, though, this book kinda reminds me of why I seriously hate the way most religions are taught, especially Christianity. Teaching with fear is crippling to the human spirit, in my not-so-humble opinion...

- This is a strange and funny little book on how to say "I told you so" when tragedy befalls your children. My family must have read it.

- The widespread acceptance of this book's scare tactics upsets and disturbs me.

- "Do not suppose, my dear children, that I wish to prevent your playing and taking proper exercise. On the contrary, I am very much amused by your games, though they are sometimes noisy; and I admire your harmless mirth. I wish you to be gay and amuse yourselves at proper times; but you should never be rash or disobedient. You can play very well without climbing up to the window, on the furniture, or other improper places. If you see guns..."
