Fun fact: the monikers used for these children in the book are used in coloquial speech to describe children that misbehave or exhibit behavioral discrepencies:
- shock headed Peter: an unkempt, filthy child
- fidgety Philip: ADHS or hyperactive child
- Johnny-Head-in-the-Air: daydreaming, absent mindedness
- wicked Frederick: cruelty to animals (sociopathy, lack of empathy often reveal themselves this way early on)
- Soup Caspar: eating disorder, perhaps
- etc
The original book was written by a medical doctor dealing with children, go figure!

Yes, but now you aren’t a thumb sucker anymore, right? By the help of that skillful guy.
Most of the book yes, but the kid with animal cruelty and the racism story, were good stuff.
There were times when kids were no snowflakes.
Soft shits create hard times and hard times create hard shits.
If you have too hard shits tho you should look into your diet
German fairy tales are dark
laughs in Irish.
Learn your rules. You’d better learn your rules.
Don’t make me call the taylor!
She must be one hell of a liar if her whole dress is on fire.
