One Good Moral

It seems that most of the classic fairytales in Tatar's book lack any well-defined moral, however I do believe both Beauty and the Beast and East of the Sun and West of the Moon have a very good moral. In the two stories a young woman willingly gives up her freedom for the wellfare of her family. Beauty saves her father's life by giving herself to the beast and in the other story the girl gives herself to the polar bear in order to allow her family a life of wealth. This devotion to family is something I would definitely want my children to learn at a young age.
