Lewis makes the same point. It's just that it's different from how many people expect. I think you’re right that literature has an effect on a child’s moral development—sometimes in the wrong way.

I remember when the "Goosebumps" series was expected to turn young readers to the "dark side." Instead, they probably just started reading something else when they got older. Do you remember the Smurfs? I knew some people who believed that the Smurfs actually represented demons. Rainbow Brite and Care Bears were a New Age Conspiracy. However, I am wondering if fantasy media could have an effect on a child's moral development in some cases. The book "King and King" might be an example. What do you think? Excellent post, Austin!
