Ben's Frankfurt pitch: Struwwelpeter

Stuck in Frankfurt with Raife, Ben pitches sightseeing options, and number three is the Struwwelpeter Museum, home of the creepiest kids' book ever written, in his words. Heinrich Hoffmann, a Frankfurt doctor, wrote it as a Christmas present for his three-year-old son in 1844. It's a set of cautionary tales, including a boy who never trims his fingernails. Ben calls it disgusting yet enthralling, which is also a fair review of Ben.
