HINT OF THE DAY: A MESSY BOY

Because people keep asking who I am, and because (as you know) I cannot keep a secret, I've decided to start offering a hint now and then about my true identity.  Here is the first: My first book may or may not have been a collection of poems in German about a little boy named Peter. A boy nobody likes because he doesn't groom himself properly.  (In other words, he's messy.)  Here's another hint: Mark Twain once translated this book. And here's what Mark Twain said about poetry: "Poetry is a sandy road to travel, and the only way to pull through at all is to lay your grammar down and take hold with both hands."  (That's not a hint, just a good quote.)  Who is the author of the Peter poems?  What is his book called?  Hmm... Funny, I can't remember just now!
