Deserving of its title “A Classic”
5By Good good bueno buttPinocchio is story about what it means to be loving when it’s so easy to be thoughtless and rude. This story is for children to learn from and adults to be reminded by. Children to learn how to be honest and hardworking. And adults to remember the childlike joy that comes from striving still, through thick and thin, to be honest and hardworking. Beautifully but simply written, this is a quick yet wonderfully awe inspiring read. A book that only by experiencing, so you understand why it’s stood the test of time. I Thank it’s late author Carlo Collodi for giving us such wonderfully crafted story, that is art. And I implore myself and others to take the advice that Pinocchio gives and live a life worth lived.Illustrations are unnecessary
