Tom Sawyer, Pinnocchio, Alice, Oliver Twist, Dorothy... All these classics are forgotten from todays world... Characters like Harry Potter has taken their places today. Do you think that its ok to give modern literature book to your growing children or would you prefer a classic book.

I'd still prefer the classics. I think that maybe today's literature don't portray innocence like the classics used to.
