Children's Book assesment

Most of the picture books made before the 1900's are pretty trippy, in my opinion. I wouldn't doubt that many kids back then were haunted by characters like 'Struwwelpeter' or that lady with the point chin. My favorite illustrations are by Arthur Rackham, 1867. My most memorable by far is "The Carrot Seed" by Ruth Krauss; I almost forgot about how my mom read it to me back in the day.
