When I was a child my Mother made for my sister and me quilts based on the Pinocchio story. I had the quilt on display last year when a couple of friends asked to look at it more carefully. Even though I had had the quilt for decades once I looked at it with the "new eyes" of my friends we could not connect all of the panels to the Disney story with which we were all familiar. SO, I went to eBay and found this treasure. I read it aloud with my husband and we paused to gaze at the amazing Roberto Innocenti illustrations as we absorbed the story. The illustrations alone make the book worth buying. I liked it so much that I bought another copy for my sister. You will be very surprised at the cricket, I think, and if you plan to read this to children it is suggested you first read it in its entirety to judge whether it is appropriate for young ears. There are many instances of cruelty in the story but we all know how it ends so maybe that's OK after all.Read full review
