Thanks for sharing, it's definitely nice to have contrasting opinions on this sort of thing. I can see where it might not appeal to everyone. Some people/kids may not associate with the Fairy Tale aspect of it.
I know if/when i play with younger kids I will play up a lot of the story in the game play. Adding comments, interjections etc when I do a great roll/ or a failed one... etc. Add life to the roll & play feel. Trying to weave the story into the game play as much as possible. My son, whom is 3 finds this game fun when I play it very loose... But hey it's a start!
But there are lots of other games out there that maybe will hold their attentions! Keep trying. Adventures! might be a good one? Maybe Incan Gold? Shorter/lighter stuff.
