edit

I've added a listing of the alphabetical fates of the children (from the book). My concern is that although it's just a few sentances, it IS the full text of the book. Of course most of the book is the illustrations and this entry shows only the cover, so my possition is that listing the captions is in fact a "fair use" quotation for review or referense.

Can this book really be classified as a children's book? It was much more likely created as a parody.

Okay, I went ahead and added the list of the children and their fates. Feel free to tweak it to perfection, but let's not take exact lines from the book, as that would violate copyright.--み使い Mitsukai 05:40, 1 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

I agree with whoever deleted the list that there should be no list, but I don't think copyvio is really the reason I'd use. For one thing, this article links directly to a scan of the entire book: clearly a much worse copyvio if indeed the book is still copyrighted. But also because it ruins the suspense of the book if you can read it all before you see the pictures. Haplolology ^Talk/_{Contributions} 01:23, 22 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
