There is also some foreign Children's literature:

French Charles Perrault's  "Contes de ma mère l'oye" (1697).

German Grimm Brothers' "Fairy Tales" (1812-1815).

Danish Hans Christian Andersen with stories like e.g. "The Princess and the Pea" (1835), "The Emperor's New Clothes" (1837),  "The Ugly Duckling" (1843).

Illustration became more important like in German physician Heinrich Hoffmann's "Struwwelpeter" (1845).

Wilhelm Busch (1832-1908), German painter and poet, best known for his drawings (e.g. Max und Moritz), which were accompanied by wise, satiric rhymes. His Bilderbogen (pictorial broadsheets) can be considered precursors of the comic strip.

There are the Peanuts by Charles M. Schulz with Snoopy in roles like:

Joe Cool

WW I Flying Ace against the Red Baron

There is also the world created around The Simpsons by Matt Groening

You can see it in The Simpsons Archive, like:

Homer Simpson's 'annoyed grunt': D'oh!
