Customer Review #1:
Hmmm...delightful...
When I first saw this book as a poster in a gothic store, it had all 26 pictures each with their corresponding line laid out on the poster. I was fascinated by this, these many deaths of children laid out in nursery rhyme format depicting non-graphic death scenes drawn with wonderful skill. I asked my mother about bringing it home, but she said she didnt want to see anything this morbid in her house...but that was then and this is now. I found out it was a book(or made into a book, that I dont know) by finding it in that same store about a year ago. Good thing I remembered the authors name, it was his name that led me to find it here at amazon.com, I have since then purchased this book, and I enjoy reading it occasionally or just looking at the magnificent art. Who knows, I may even let my children read this some day.

Undescribable
This book was read to me when I was little as a bed-time story. There is nothing quite like Goreys, well, gorey sense of humor. I very much appreciate a nice twist in life, especially now that I attend a boarding school in highschool. The Harvey and Hutter Company makes posters actually of the book. Its wonderful, but there is that something you miss in reading the small adult picturebook that Gorey intended. Overall, one of the most memorable books I have ever read and by far the most interesting way to learn your alphabet as a child.Not recommended for the weak of stomach.

A cool little book
Im so surprised to find this book here! I actually have this one! My cousin bought it for me, knowing my morbid sense of humor. Its pretty funny if you have my kind of humor.
