Who wouldn’t want to come upon a candy-covered house in the woods? I know my daughter would! That’s why she always loved Hansel and Gretel when she was younger. She liked how protective Hansel was. She loved that they were smart enough to drop breadcrumbs. And, she loved that Hansel and Gretel were smart enough to outthink the witch.
