古往今來，每個孩子的童年裡，絕對都是由童話伴隨著他一起長大的。幾百幾千年下來，社會的變遷、人心的改變如此巨大，然而這些不朽的經典童話，為何卻能經得起一再回味、不斷傳頌呢？童話故事究竟有何魅力呢？ 其實，童話是按照兒童的心理特點和需要，通過豐富的想像、誇張的形象，用曲折動人的故事情節和淺顯易懂的語言文字，反映出社會生活真實的一面。它運用符合孩子思維的特點和心理特徵，讓孩子們認識到善與惡、勤與拙、對與錯。 當孩子們聆聽了大量的童話，觸摸到童話的新奇後，他們就會用童話的方式來觀察世界、瞭解世界、解釋世界、接受世界。不知不覺中，童話中的真善美就會滲入他們的血液，他們也會渴求用行動來實現。 高爾基曾說，童話是孩子打開通向另一種生活的窗子，在那裏，有一種自由無畏的力量存在著，讓孩子們幻想著更美好的生活。孩子本就是天生的童話家，他們充滿幻想，他們的心靈是童話的土壤，所以，孩子的童年，只有讀過童話才算是完整的，只要孩子走進童話世界，定能感受到童話神奇的魔力，感受到書籍的特有魅力，從而愛上讀書。 父母陪著孩子一起讀童話，孩子在聽淺顯易懂的故事裡，所能學習到的做人做事的道理，是絕對比父母天天嘮嘮叨叨要來的有效的，也因此，童話對培養兒童養成真、善、美的良好品質具有相當的積極意義，在全世界受到廣大民眾的歡迎，而歷久不衰。
