Kriston-
Yes, we have talked about the book thing before. They can always put it down if it is too "anything" for them. Not that I would leave trash around for my kids to find... I don't think anything in this house would qualify as trash, but if I liked bodice rippers, for instance, I would be careful not to have them left where dd could get them.
I definitely make an effort to expose my kids to the pre-Disney tales. DD7 has written a 50 page book about the daughters of Fairy Tale Princesses, and she purposely left out the Little Mermaid because she doesn't have the happy ending of the Disney version.
I did once read about glass slippers being a translation error; was it supposed to say some kind of fur? I can't remember.
