Fairy tales

My daughter has recently had a renewed interest in picture books.  We've revisited Peter Rabbit, Hans Christian Andersen, Little Bear, and even Corduroy this past week.   Its good to remember that a precocious reader can still be interested in age appropriate literature.  One thing I wanted to bring up, though, was that fairy tales can be terribly scary with witches and wolves and people being gobbled up by giants and ogres and such.  If your child doesn't like them, don't stress about them missing out on some of the classics.  Wait a bit, maybe try something with less graphic illustrations (we have Michael Hague's HCA and they aren't gory, but the witches and bad people are twisted and gnarled looking and pretty scary in my opinion!)  and they'll probably be fine!
