Pinocchio

"The last book that I read to both of my kids, at the same time, was Carlo Collodi's "The Adventures of Pinocchio" (1883). Only when you read the original book do you realize how much of an undisciplined, stubborn, troublemaking truant Pinocchio actually was."

"I would suggest "Pinocchio," by Carlo Collodi, for it contains the full arc of innocence and experience, encompassing love, betrayal, heartbreak, forgiveness, transformation and redemption."
