They <i>loved</i> it, as did I, and something that still makes me smile is how they even preferred it to the Disney classic. So there, Walt, wonderful as you are you can't top books! :) <br /><br />p.s. I am such a piglet I went and ordered the Carlo Collodi ink in a lovely shade of brown for my fountain pen after reading Pinocchio.<br /><br />p.s.s. Don't you love how it brings to life such important issues? I asked the kids, "Do you think he deserved to be turned into a real boy?" and some were equivocated. They need to realize we all fall short of the glory we're meant to be. We're all wooden, in so many ways.Bellezza https://www.blogger.com/profile/18073864187188953633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-45810239319079109102012-10-03T12:26:48.329-04:002012-10-03T12:26:48.329-04:00I've never read this -- but I ought to.

I'm not sure which edition I might read (being cheap, I find myself somewhat inclined towards a free eBook edition...), but I will certainly keep this one in mind!Meytal Radzinskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15805413335735169073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-70737852461425195382012-10-02T06:50:12.830-04:002012-10-02T06:50:12.830-04:00For some reason, I never thought of Pinocchio bein...For some reason, I never thought of Pinocchio being based on a book.
