Because it's possibly a better idea to ease children into the reality of the world, than to shove it down their throats in sudden doses? Not saying to wrap them in cotton wool, but giving context and background before showing them harsh reality may give them some kind of foundation to work with whilst they process.

I know what happens when you're not ready. Book get shoved in the closet and you develop a slight aversion to closet. Cuz that's where the monsters go. (or at least that's where I shoved It )
