Disturbing Kids story!

When i was in Saudi, my older sister was cleaning up her daughter's room because she just bought them a new grown up bedroom, Mashalah my nieces are 14 and 15 now!!:) so while cleaning up she came across those Arabic story books and told me those are for Zaid's age..of course i got excited and took them.

Now after we got back from the trip and took the books out i was absolutely shocked when i was reading them to Zaid. Now they are 4 set of books and the stories goes something like that:

-the mommy chicken told her kids to eat breakfast and they all sat down to eat except this one chick who wanted to play, he didn't listen and walked too far so the bad bird (Crow, they colored him in purple!!) saw him alone and kidnapped him and wanted to eat him!! the good bird (falcon) saw him n saved him!

- the mommy chicken told the chicks to get up early for school...they all were ready for school except this one chick who walked to play and was late for school...the bad black bird saw him alone and kidnapped him and wanted to eat him. the mommy sends the good bird (falcon) to save him!

It was really disturbing to read that, they actually wrote "and he brought the knife and the fork to eat him", " he prepared the fire to bbq him"!!!! i was like WTH is this a kid book, Really!!

I just want you to see the pic ur self!

speechless ha ;)?
i did explain to Zaid why this bird is bad..he told me, "it's wrong he is holding a knife..now the police man is coming to get him!" =)
i just think it is too graphic for kids and ther is SOOO many ways to tell this simple stories!

Am i being too dramatic here?!
