Der Struwwelpeter ("shock-headed Peter" or "Shaggy Peter") is an 1845 German children's book by Heinrich Hoffmann. It comprises ten illustrated and rhymed stories, mostly about children. Each has a clear moral that demonstrates the disastrous consequences of misbehavior in an exaggerated way. The title of the first story provides the title of the whole book. Der Struwwelpeter is one of the earliest books for children that combines visual and verbal narratives in a book format, and is considered a precursor to comic books.

Still have this book. :D

Part of me still gets scared for a split second when I see a kid suck on their thumb

Nothing, all fairy tales at this time are brutal, some also are perverse.

Have you ever read some of the actual Grimm stories? They're not pleasant.
