Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi





Did you know that Pinocchio kills his consciousness cricket in the first few pages of Collodi's original Pinocchio? This is a really funny story of a block-headed boy who just can't seem to learn his lesson. This book was written about 20 years after Alice in Wonderland, which I find pretty interesting. Disney really changed this story around, mostly in the way it made a few other characters more evil than they were. Most of the revisions were necessary to make a story that actually flowed with some direction, though. Great job, Disney!
