Jack and his mother then live happily ever after with their riches that Jack stole from the giant. - Jack and the Beanstalk

Putting the jewels into their clothing, the children set off for home. A swan ferries them across an expanse of water and at home they find only their father; his wife died from unknown causes. Their father had spent all his days lamenting the loss of his children and is delighted to see them safe and sound. With the witch's wealth that they found, they all live happily ever after. - Hansel and Gretel

If I were poor enough not to be able to feed my children, I would have definitely broken into someone's house by now. I don't see anything wrong in stealing if you don't have a job for some reason, and just can't earn money right now and your child is about to die because of hunger.

So, I wish to know:

• At what age such books should be introduced to the child?

• At what age were you introduced to these kind of books?

•   What was the book's impact on you at that time? How did your parents deal with these books?

• How do you deal with these books w.r.t your children? Do you explain them when it is okay to steal or lie and when it is not? What's your children's response?

I wasn't lucky enough to have any fairy tale book in my childhood. We had different kind of books like Panchtantra which do not hint any such kind of stealing. To be honest, I didn't know about fairies when I was young - Panchtantra is all about animals.

Now, I don't know if this kind of "living happily after stealing" is common in other fairy tale story books or not.

I want to know how to deal with this when I read the books to the child.
Should these kind of books be avoided?
