I'm a pretty big fan of C.S. Lewis -- loved his books when I was a kid. While the first book in the series is obviously an allegory for the Jesus myth, it also has good lessons to teach kids, and the subsequent books are hardly a continuation of biblical myth, but instead a furtherance of the new mythology created by Lewis.

What evangelical churches choose to do with The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is certainly up for debate. Having kids read a great fairy tale, though, is certainly not a big deal, IMHO. In fact, as this is obviously a fairy tale, one could deduce from it that the Christ myth it represents is similarly fictional.
