If you look back at Disney films, they are lovely childrens story's, but Bambi is anti-hunting, Snow White is about a mean step-mother, as is Cinderella, many old fairy tales are really horrid, Grimm's fairy tales my father wouldn't read me, Hansel-Gretel being shoved into an oven...My father read me a series of books called. Mother West wind stories, some of them were stories of why Hooty the owl can turn his head so far, why Jimmy the skunk has a white stripe down his back etc....the series were WHO stories, Why stories, How stories and all about the animal world. I think the author was Thorton Burgess and they have been out of print for about 60 years...great kid stories.... I am 73 and could probably still tell you the names of all the animals, even one story on Bowser the Hound, Vixin the fox, Woody the woodchuck, Lightfoot the deer....Yikes I am getting old...
