Funny book at times and a lot of disgraces for pinocchio, kind of reminds me of "Lazarillo de Tormes" but lighter.
I really liked the end and you can see through the book how Pinocchio evolved.
I would not give this book to a little kid tho.

Disney has ruined many a fairy tale and this is one of them. I found the classic fairy tale a much more enjoyable story even in it’s ridiculousness. This was an enjoyable read aloud for my 6 year old son and I at bedtime.
