Right at this very moment, I'm luxuriating in that feeling you have just after you've read a good book, when you may not be actively thinking about it, but somewhere your mind is digesting it, and you still feel a little altered from reading it.

Kids are very good at seeing the moral allegory, even if they don't vocalize it, and it gives them a foundation for dealing with the real life scary things. That was what the article said, in gyst, which I found really intriguing.
