Outside Over There Book

This is such a scary book, it could be seen as a fairytale perhaps for adults to read and the illustrations are so skillfully drawn. But as a children's book it's just too disturbing. I can remember picking this up in the children's picture book area of the library, I must have been under 5 yrs and I found it really scary. The illustrations are so realistic apart from some large out of scale feet and it's clear even just by the pictures that a baby/toddler is being stolen. I'm so glad I couldn't read because I would have found out that this little girl baby is being stolen for a bride for the goblins and not getting married when she grows up which would be bad enough but getting married as a baby. The text also mentions the honeymoon which I think is really disturbing considering we are talking about a baby. Not a book for children.

Outside Over There must refer to where children ask their parents to put this book after having it for a bedtime story.
