The Office Question

Either in season 4 or 5 Dwight briefly holds up a German children's book. Does anyone have any idea what the title is?

Years ago, when I was very young, a friend of mine (who is part German) had that very same book that Dwight displayed. I just about fell over when I saw it. The illustrations were very vivid in depicting all the awful things that would befall disobedient kids. For example, I clearly remember seeing a thumb-sucking boy having his thumbs cut off by a scissors (huge!!) wielding adult. Then a child caught playing w/matches was reduced to a big pile of ashes.

It´s a book written 1845 called "Struwwelpeter". It has ten illustrated and rhymed stories, mostly about children. It´s unbelievably brutal, each has a clear moral that demonstrates the disastrous consequences of misbehavior in an exaggerated way. Also look link
