The book is called Struwwelpeter and it is from 1844. The stories are intended for children and are all cautionary tales about how bad behaviour can have disastrous consequences. I loved them as a child and I probably could recite the whole book from memory. There is an English translation available at Project Gutenberg.

And they were not intended as good-night-stories.

Why would I not eat my soup? I don't need a cautionary tale about that.
