Being a fan of videogames that aren't too violent, I own some titles I could recoment for kids 
It's kind of obvious that my favorite videogame series is Pokemon, the series is basicly you are a kid who runs around collecting and battling creatures called pokemon. You also can do more then just battling and collecting though, the newest games lets you enter "super" contests (kind of like a beauty pagent), dig underground for treasures, and well...alot of cool stuff! You don't have to worry about violence in this series because in an interveiw with time magazine the creator Satoshi Tajiri specificaly stated that he kept the games nonviolent on purpose because he did not like how kids "don't respect death". There are also alot of other games too, so there is alot to choose from.
My second favorite kid-friendly series is Harvest Moon. (I actualy recomended this to my chemistry teacher for her two daughters lol) you play as either a boy or a girl farmer and the whole point of the game is to take good care of your animals, grow alot of crops, build up your farm, and eventualy get married and have a kid. Apparently the game ends after 100 of the games years has passed but nobody has made it that far yet.  it's fun, and 100% naughty-things free.
And of course, I love Nintendogs, it's so cute raising your own virtual puppy!
And I agree that Nintendo releases more kid-friendly titles. It's part of their image as a system that is fun for the whole family. (My impression is that Sony and Microsoft are more geared to looking cool for Teens and Adults.)
I'm not a fan of GTA, but it has the right to exist...just out of the hands of youngsters and restricted to the age group it was meant for: Adults.
