1. I guess this is more subjective than I thought because no, I don't think of dropping an ice cream cone when I hear that title. But I also wouldn't assume that a PG movie was about dropping an ice cream cone. To be fair, when I first read the title, I was looking at an illustrated cover of the book. And then I read the back of the book.

2. Actually, no. A lot of excellent children's literature deals with dark themes and puts the children in scary situations. They don't all have that as the major premise of the story, but kids books are full of orphans, abusive adults, life-threatening danger. Hell, all of those plot points you listed are in a lot of fairytales. And imo that's good for kids. It lets them use their imaginations and prepare for the harsh realities of life, while maintaining a safe distance. And in the case of kids whose lives are already harsh, it can be a huge comfort.
