If you don’t expose your children to these books and these stories and explain the difference between reality and silly stories then you do them a great disservice.

I did indeed.
I have friends whose parents made them smoke cigarettes until they got sick. Guess what, they never smoked again. In college my fraternity brothers got upset because I always seemed to stay sober at parties so they got me to drink a few pints of Seagram’s 7 blended whiskey. You can bet I never did that again.
If we don’t teach children the difference between myth, fairy tales and reality then when they are exposed to it in college or elsewhere when we are not there to guide them they can get lost.
Reading a book that your children read gives you something to talk about that you have in common with them and that they can appreciate sharing with you. At the same time you can open their eyes to silliness.
