Ditto. The best thing I ever read for school was the Ugly Duckling play (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ugly_Duckling_(play)) by A. A. Milne - a snarky, hilarious satire about true beauty. Other than that, it was all Little Match Girl and The Happy Prince. Why, oh WHY do we give children such angsty stories to read in grade school?
Best part-
Princess: It takes half an hour to lower the draw bridge. King: Yes, it's in want of oil. (to minister) Have you been skimping on oil? Princess: It's in want of a new draw bridge!
