The
Adventures of Pinocchio: Story of a Puppet (Italia Series)
by Carlo Collodi, Carmelo Lettere (Illustrator), Nancy
Canepa (Translator)
Reading level: Young Adult
Paperback
Published by Steerforth Press
Publication date: Nov 2002
Disney’s
Pinocchio is considered a classic, but it is not a faithful adaptation
of the tale. In Carlo Collodi’s original story, first published in
1881, the cutesy cat Figaro does not exist, Pinocchio attacks the
Talking Cricket (not named Jiminy) with a hammer, and the puppet-boy
is hanged by assassins midway through the book. Inspired by the
commedia dell’arte, Collodi’s Pinocchio is both a lively adventure
tale for children and a very adult social critique. It attacks poverty
and the hypocrisy of the medical and judicial establishments while
emphasizing the importance of education. In this faithful newly
translated and illustrated version, Collodi’s vision, praised by
Italian critics as on par with that of Dante and Boccaccio, is
preserved to appeal to readers of all ages.

Gr. 3-5, younger for reading aloud. Ed Young presents an illustrated
edition of this famous Italian fantasy. Although his version of the
story is considerably shorter than Collodi's text, it retains a sense
of the adventure, humor, and pathos that made the original Pinocchio
a classic. In the full-color, collage artwork, Young builds scenes
from deftly cut and composed materials that include cloth as well as
textured, painted, and printed papers highlighted with pastels...

work became highly influential in his own day, as well as a source of
inspiration to the artists of the Italian Renaissance.

Published by DK Publishing
Publication date: Apr 2000
Say the words "reference book" and most people think of
something boring. But DK Eyewitness Books proves that doesn't have to
be the case by showing readers in pictures what other books only tell
them in words. What makes DK Eyewitness Books so compelling is a
"lexigraphic" design style developed by Peter Kindersley. He
created a design approach that integrated words to give meaning to the
pictures. Rich with content, Eyewitness Books use a lively mix of
full-color photographs and illustrations.

Rome
Antics
by David
MacAulay
Reading level: Ages 9-12
Hardcover
Published by Houghton Miffin Co (Juv)
Publication date: Oct 1997
"Somewhere in the Italian hills, a homing
pigeon is released. She soars quickly and follows an old road, which
(of course) leads to Rome." So begins Caldecott Medal-winning
artist David Macaulay's visually festive journey that tracks the
whimsical flight of a homing pigeon through the archways, over the
terra-cotta rooftops, and between the columns of this most ancient and
vibrant city: "Instead of traveling directly to her destination,
which is standard pigeon procedure, she decides to take the scenic
route."

From
the
Author

son

one
year
old
daughter,

personal

Italian
language
and
cultural
novelties,
but
was
more
than
another
picture
dictionary.
It
had
to
be
fun
and
engage
the
preschooler
with
familiar
things
from
home,
