I didn’t plan to post another Favorite Five entry this soon, but I thought it would be appropriate after reading the post about Fairy Tales over at Pen and Paper.
Even though Disney has its darker moments (think about Bambi’s parents or Mufasa’s death in the Lion King), most of its stories are candy-coated. That’s a far cry from the way many of the traditional fairy tales were meant to be told. If you don't believe me, just go back and read the Brothers Grimm!
Some of my favorite fairy tales:
1. The Ugly Duckling
2. Aesop’s Fables
3. Shrek
4. Hansel and Gretel
5. The Three Little Pigs (check out this version my sister gave my kids when they were little)
Others: Three Billy Goats Gruff, The Elves and the Shoemaker, Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and the Beanstalk.

- Making my way through the ups and downs of life, holding fast to my favorite Bible verse: "For we walk by faith, not by sight." ~2 Corinthians 5:7. I began blogging in earnest at Yahoo360 on October 24, 2005. (briefly using LiveJournal and blog-city prior to that) In June 2008 I moved to Blogger. I'm now at WordPress where I hope to remain.
