Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi was written when Italy formed into a nation, making it one of the very first pieces of modern Italian literature. This latest retelling, illustrated by Gris Grimley, follows the adventures of Pinocchio, a mischievous wooden puppet, who wants more than anything else to become a real boy.
I read kids books is what I do. It's just me, reading kids books and writing my thoughts. I have a M.Ed. in Children's Literature, so in my years of researching children’s literature, I’ve found that children’s literature is essential to the personal and academic development of all children because it is a window that not only opens, but also reflects the diversity of our human experience. More importantly, it lets young readers and readers of all ages know that children and people like them are worthy of being in books. If you have any questions, comments, observations, or if you just want to say hello, send me an email.
