Hansel and Gretel

A beautifully illustrated version of the Grimm tale. ( )

This classic story is great for children because it has all the elements of good and evil. The brother and sister are brave and smart and outwits the wicked witch to return safely home. I would read this to the children and they could learn good over evil, use tools to help find their way, or they could use use their own brains together to get through a difficult situation ( )

Traditional Fairytale
Hansel and Gretel go exploring, leave bread crumbs to find their way back home after being captured by a witch ( )

The father 'tries to protest' - the ineffectual father or absent father has just never gotten the same play as the evil stepmother. There seems to be more real life versions of absent fathers then evil stepmothers.
