It's very much different (and better) than the Disney cartoon we all grew up with.The very first scene had me laughing out loud as Geppetto and a shop owner brawled.This original version is more graphic and violent than the children's version. For example (spoiler alert!), the talking cricket that Walt Disney lovingly named 'Jiminy' only lasted a page and a half before Pinocchio killed it with a hammer. And in another scene (big spoiler alert!) Pinocchio is hiding four gold pieces in his mouth while the cat and fox try to pry it open with a knife. The puppet bites the cats paw off and spits it on the ground.There are so many good lessons to be found in this story. Taken as a whole, we see a model of maturity. Pinocchio is a bad boy, but as he goes through life he takes note of the lessons around him. By the end of the book, he's accountable and responsible for caring for his father and the fairy. He does so by working extra hours and earning more money. ### ⭐⭐ Not a good translation *by D***K on Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2019* Bottom line is this is a disappointing piece of junk, not only printed by the country where once upon a time junk was a boat, but it also seems as though someone there may have done the choppy translation.While this is a hardcover, it is a mere 6-1/4 inches high by 4 inches wide, about the size of a pulp paperback, and the print is relatively small.This one went in the trash while I bought a real used hardcover copy, translated by Carol Della Chiesa and with original illustrations by Attilio Mussino.Don't waste your money on this version. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful Edition with Creepy Illustrations (Macmillan Collector's Edition) *by S***E on Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2018* First, The Adventures of Pinocchio by Collodi is a fantastic read-aloud for young kids, and bears repeated readings in order to catch more and more symbolism. My 8-year-old kept yelling "Don't do it, Pinocchio!" 5 stars, Signore Collodi.The Macmillan Collector's Library edition is beautiful. It is a pocket-sized hardback with embossed cover and a dusk-jacket with adorable illustrations. Though I wasn't expecting or needing illustrations, I was optimistic about the illustrations based on the cover. (You might predict the moral of this story.) Again, I was not interested in illustrations as I intended to read it to my kids, but they have become something of a distraction from the story. Basically, the illustrations are creepy. Those aren't my words. They are the words of my 8-year old daughter. I wasn't going to say anything because who cares about the illustrations? I do...now. The illustrator for this edition is Charles Folkard. Probably a great guy, and most likely even a good artist, but these drawings didn't do it for our family. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/56914488-pinocchio-world-classics-paperback-illustrated-august-1-2015](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/56914488-pinocchio-world-classics-paperback-illustrated-august-1-2015) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-05-11*
