Ibbygirl Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Does anyone have a favorite version for a middle schooler?? Preferably one with some illustrations in it?? Thanks to all who reply. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 We took our middle schooler (and elementary student too) to the ballet. I know that doesn't answer your question but I thought I would widen your horizons! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like ballet too but I don't think there is a Pinnochio one showing anywhere near right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmoira Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I like this translation (no illustrations), but DD the Elder greatly prefers this rather unconventional illustrated version by Sara Fanelli. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you so much! I am looking at both versions on Amazon right now. I have to admit I like the second one very much too. :) Thank you for the recommendations. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ibbygirl Posted March 4, 2010 Author Share Posted March 4, 2010 DD the Elder greatly prefers this rather unconventional illustrated version by Sara Fanelli. I bought this one off of Amazon and it arrived today. It's wonderful!! I can't wait to get started on it. :) Thank you so much for the recommendation. Just a quick question if you know, do you know if the story itself is adapted in any way or is it unabridged?? I've never read it and can't tell from the description on Amazon. Thanks so much. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyNellen Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 We adore the Classic Illustrated Edition from Chronicle Books. The illustrations are lovely - compiled from many different artists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ibbygirl Posted March 5, 2010 Author Share Posted March 5, 2010 It's an unabridged translation. Fantastic!! That's exactly what I was hoping. Thank you so much for letting me know. :) I really can't wait to get into the book. I've skimmed the first chapter and it looks like a great read. We're almost 3/4 of the way through the Little House series right now but when we wrap them up I"m going to start on Pinocchio. Can't wait. Thanks again.:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
