Slovenly Betsy, Proud Phoebe, Lazy Charlotte, and other naughty girls get their comeuppance in these darkly humorous fables by Heinrich Hoffmann, the author of Struwwelpeter (Shock-headed Peter). Hoffmann's Slovenly Betsy features the same hilarious approach to manners and morals as its famous predecessor. Adults and children alike will revel in these quaintly illustrated rhyming stories of bad habits and their dire consequences.
More than 40 full-color drawings accompany Hoffman's cautionary tales in verse of Sophie Spoilall, who deliberately breaks her toys; The Little Glutton, whose greed for sweets leads to a misadventure with a beehive; Envious Minnie, whose pretty face is ruined by jealousy; and other rude and disobedient children. The first large-format edition of a lost classic, this volume will delight book collectors and bibliophiles as well as all readers with a taste for perverse drollery.

Love the style- sizing is a bit tricky online
Mini Melissa shoes always deliver on cuteness (and comfort). That said, each pair seems to be slightly different in terms of sizing! We ordered a size 2 and found that it was a little bigger than a recent size 2 we'd ordered. Still worth it, just a heads up that this might be a better purchase in person when you can try on!

Adorable!
Size: 7 Toddler, Color: Black
These little shoes are absolutely adorable! I got my 2 year old daughter the black sparkly ones. I originally ordered a size 6, but had to return & swap for a size 7. Not sure if this shoe runs a little small or if my daughter’s foot is just a little big. They are a soft rubber & they smell amazing (I know that sounds weird but when you receive them you will see what I’m talking about lol). They seem like very good quality & like they will last awhile, especially on a 2 year old who is hard on shoes!
