Parents are rightly concerned about certain 'grimm' fairy tales! I also eliminated nursery rhymes such as '3 blind mice', 'piggy on the rail-way' 'sing a song of sixpence' 'humpty dumpty' to name a few from my list of rhymes when my son was a pre schooler. Oh! and not to forget 'Jack and Jill'. I couldn't understand how teachers made children mindlessly repeat these rhymes that on closer examination revealed that ghastly things happened to the characters portrayed- falling, breaking bones, smashing heads and bodies, birds baked alive, blind mice being butchered- tales of horror indeed!
