Well...
It's d20. Depending on how codified you like your rules, that could be a good or a bad thing.
It's not the real world. In two ways:
Little Fears makes mention of Kids going into Closetland, but doesn't really say much about what's there (from what I remember). The action assumed to center around hidden monsters in the real world. Grimm all takes place within the Grimm Lands, and most of the extra mechanics are in place because of it. Even the kids' stats are probably technically higher than what they would be in the real world.
Little Fears makes use of real world children's issues as potential subject matter, even if it's just thematically. At the very least, adults are oblivious and (to play up the horror aspect) are unable to do anything to help. While Grimm has some nods to some potential kink (:P), the problems presented are all very fairy tale - getting swollowed whole, being lost, etc.
