Description: This fairy tale is one of the books I have enjoyed when I was a little kid. A bit gruesomeThis fairy tale is one of the books I have enjoyed when I was a little kid. A bit gruesome in some places, especially the parental abuse part and the cannibalism but it's a alright book. The portrays the story of two siblings, named Hansel and Gretel, who had to put up with their step mother who hated them and tried whatever it takes to remove them from their own home. With enough persuasion, she managed to get her husband to do so after a few tries. Being lost and hungry in a deep forest, they were tempted by the witch's home that's covered with sweets and cakes, only to be trapped and being held captives and fattened up so the witch could eat them up....

This story teaches your kids the dangers of talking to a stranger. Although it's a bit scary, it's a good story for kids out there to alert them the dangers of the world involving strangers. The illustrations are beautiful and enjoyable for kids

It features a goat with seven kids (like the title suggested), warning them of not opening the door to anyone but her, because a wolf is looking any ways to gobble them up, by hook or by crook, while she's going away for a while into the forest to look for for food. As expected the wolf came and tried so many ways to tricked the kids to open the door. When he finally complished this, he gobbled them all up, except for the youngest kid, who managed to hide itself somewhere. Both of them found the wolf and a graphic scene of the mother goat cutting the wolf up to save her kids and replacing them with rocks before she sew it back up. ...
