  12. Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi

    It uses elements of fantasy in an allegorical manner, jumping from extremes of preachiness to ridiculousness. It warns against our darkest nature and praises kind spirit.

    10/10 ( 2018-10-28) Sahana from USA. I recommend this book for children because this book teaches kids about being honest. Parents tell kids to be honest when kids wonder why they need to. The author used Pinocchio as an example of dishonesty and what happens when you are dishonest. That is why you need to be honest.

  24. Pinocchio (New York Review Books (Paperback))

    Pinocchio the novel, no less than Pinocchio the character, is one of the great inventions of modern literature.
