While living in Germany you will come across this book by the Frankfurt physician and psychiatrist Heinrich Hoffmann from the year 1844.

Today I look at the book in a humorous way.
But back then, the book was advertised for children aged 3-6.
I can hardly imagine how children received the book back then.
But listen and see for yourself.
