The beloved tale of a wooden puppet who longs to become a real boy is as appealing now as when it was first released in 1940. The beautiful, vintage illustrations in this Little Golden Book retelling will charm children and collectors alike. It makes a great companion to the Platinum Edition DVD being released by Disney in spring 2009!

This review is from: Pinocchio (Little Golden Book) (Hardcover)
I guess I'm partly disappointed with this book because I remembered this story differently....Apparently Pinocchio was not the story of a puppet who longed to be a boy and whose nose grew when he told a lie. Rather, according to this version, he is a puppet who longs to be a boy and turns into a donkey and is swallowed by a whale. The story is wordy and yet you feel like you are reading an abridged version and the illustrations are cheesy. I ordered this specific book because I thought of "Golden Books" as classics. Order another version.

Not a "truthful" representation of the story,
By Karen (Glen Oaks, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pinocchio (Little Golden Book) (Hardcover)
I bought this book to teach my children about honesty since Pinocchio's nose grows every time he lies.... Or so I thought. There is not one mention of lying or his nose growing anywhere in the book, so the purpose of my purchase was lost. Instead, it goes on about other parts of the pinocchio story. A nice story, but if you are looking to teach children about values, honesty and lying, this is not the right book for you.

Just as I remember,
This review is from: Pinocchio (Little Golden Book) (Hardcover)
I just read this to my dd in a doctor's office and had to buy it. I disagree with the other reviewers, there is one mention of (only one though) of pinocchio's nose growing. However, I see this as true to the original story and perfect for kids that need a little more than most picture books offer, but still love to look at pictures.
