Customer Reviews of The ADVENTURES OF PINOCCHIO (DELUXE EDITION)

This is Italy!
I grew up in Italy and this is the real Macoy. Every Italian grows up reading Collodi's masterpiece while looking at Attilio Mussino's illustrations. This is the Pinocchio we imagine. When I first saw Disney's Pinocchio, I was shocked! So cute and kind... there is nothing to learn from the Disney video. Collodi's Pinocchio, on the other hand, is a child who lacks every sense of altruism, who needs to be educated. Collodi wrote various children's books, always with a pedagogical intent.

This is a book for parents to read with their children. It helps remind parents that an apple needn't be peeled, and it helps kids eat the apple with the peel. If you're having problems with your first grader, this is a pedagogical and fun book for all the family.

A Book Review of "The Adventures of Pinnochio"
!!WOW!! Was that book great! !!WOW!! It deserves 5+ stars! !!WOW!!
Most of the story took place in the woods. It was also on different islands. A little bit was in Pinnochio's house. There was a little bit in a fairy's house too.
The main characters were Pinnochio, Geppeto, a beautiful fairy (who becomes Pinnochio's mother,) and Jimmeny Cricket. In the middle of the story there was an evil Cat and an evil Fox.
The climax of this story is when Pinnochio saw a grave for the beautiful Fairy. Later Pinnochio found out that the fairy was still alive.
If you want to find out what else happened, and the end, you must read the book. It's a real page turner. You'll love it.

this ain't disney
I read this book 20 years ago. I can still remember how convoluted the whole thing seemed to me when I was a child. This is the original Pinnochio story, upon which Disney based it's movie. In the book, Jimminy doesn't get past Chapter 3 as anything other than a ghost. The stories of Pinnochio turning into a donkey were very dark, and still leave me wondering about all the symbolism. If you think the story of Pinnochio can be summed up into a morality story about the perils of lying, you only know Disney. This is a book which is suitable for (my opinion) 12 through adult.
