From a "classic Literature" stanpoint these stories go along with the array of fables and myths from other lands. As with some of those myths/fables use caution with these tales and guide children to observe the non-Christian "virtues" of the heroes. These are good for provoking discussion regarding the teachings of Christ vs. the teachings of other (muslim) religion. ie. What is held up as the ideal? What are the traits of the protagonists?
