Recently, I've been driven insane with trying to find out the name of a book that my teacher mentioned last year. And I'm pretty sure it's fairly well known...

Anyway, the book is written like a children's book, with cute little black and white illustrations, listing the alphabet and saying "A is for _____" and so on. The twist is, every letter features a child's name and how they die. For a random example I though up, (probably) not from the book "B is for Betty, sliced with a machete."

And I forgot what it was called! I want to go see if I can find it, but I need to know what the name is first...so, yeah, has anyone heard of it?

I would feel scared to even approach a book like that

Hahaha, it was really well done. Everything was nice and simple, and the words rhymed, and the illusrations looked sweet from a distance (you had to look closely to realize Polly's arm was impaled on her kite XD) That was my creative writing teacher's way of telling us we had to write a children's book, haha. I didn't make mine quite as morbid, though...

Do you mean "The Gashlycrumb Tinies: Or, After the Outing"? A wonderfully morbid book.

Please don't click on the link unless you want to know what happened to 26 little unlucky children, haha.

Thanks

Lovely Book Sadly I havent heard of this book when I was growing up. And i think drinking to much gin would be the most painless >.>, well i never really tried it myself, but it shouldnt be to bad unless drinking so much prolongs your death, so you could live every moment of it...but other then that it dosnt seem that painful

I thought the most painless is being wasted away

Hey! I have that peach one as a magnet on my fridge! Everyone told me it was a depressing little picture, but I loved it. I think I love it more now.

I think my librarian read us a book when I was little about seven spoiled litte children all named after days in the week. Their mom went away on errands and told them not to let strangers in and I don't think they listened. I think something really gastly happened like she kept on having to take things off like feet and legs before she got them back. Really creepy, but you can tell I haven't forgotten. Anybody have any ideas?

Hmm... the closest story I can think of to that is Heckedy Peg. Would that be what you're talking about?
