Fairy tale in children's market


The fairy tales in today is not just simply the stories that used to entertain children anymore, but they might also be the first literature material that we using  to teach our kids today. Today's kids are very familiar with most of the fairy tales and the characters in the stories, and they became a inevitable part of most children's life; the cartoons that children watch in everyday's life and the books their parents read for them before they going to bed were all based on different fairy tales. And before children getting to know the more mature charaters and materials, the characters in the fairy tales were always considered as deals of the children; children copying everything the charaters did in the story, such as: if the color of the dresses that wearing by Cinderella is blue, and the kids who are the fans of Cinderella, then they would probably asking their parents to buy them clothes in color blue rather than the others, because they also wanted to be "Cinderella".
Todays kids are so familiar with the charaters in the fairy tales, and the objects that printed with the images  of those charaters are extremely fascinated to the kids. One of the example that I saw is, once I went to shop in Walmart, and there also is a mother who is leading her daughter to buy some shcool materials, and when her mother asked her which bookbag she would like to pick, she told her mother she wants to get the one with the SnowWhite's figure printed.

After many revisions made to the old versions of fairy tales, the contents in today's versions of fairy tales became more adoptable for the kids. And in today's society, the fairy tales were not consider as just the stories that we used to read for childrens before they going bed, but more likely, the fairy tales became the most closet "friends" of todays kids, and also might be considered as the first "lectures" that giving to today's kids.
