Fontanelle bears a striking resemblance to Mr. Otterloop; perhaps that’s how Alice visualizes him when she hears Daddy’s voice reading a tale from the Imperiled Infant series….
You’re thinking of the Semey State Medical University (formerly the Semipalatinsk State Medical Institute) which is located near a former nuclear testing site. The University has a medical museum which has a small display of corpses of fetuses and newborn children supposedly deformed by radiation from the tests. (I make no claims of belief or disbelief as to whether their birth defects are natural or not.)

That baby seems to be in some dangerous situations. Edward Gorey would love this.

I wonder if they read Petey these books a lot when he was younger. It might explain some things.

Sounds like a takeoff on the Lemony Snicket books.

What a wonderful explanation for what happened to Petey, but Alice just loves it. Personality difference much.

Sounds a bit Lemony Snickettish.

a bomb in a bathtub is child endangerment! I’ll sue the author for this madness.
