Funny you mention that: my first contact with Aida was a picture book version I read in 4th grade. It did strip a lot of the details, for instance the princess's role was simplified along the lines of "the princess was jealous and sold the two out", but it kept all the main themes and was still suitably "dark" enough that I was really struck by it.

EDIT: Hey, I found it! That's a blast from the past.
