I voted Pinocchio because not only it's an endearing children's book, and a really fun one at that, but also because it's a book that has many references to italian folklore and even more interestingly, the bits about pedagogy are pretty good.
Obviously it is a children's book, one would be saying false claiming anything else, but that characteristic it has of being able to be analysed over and over for clever wordplay and political quips elevates it for me as a true great book.
Kinda like how the religious readings of Le Petit Prince make that book also great for both children who just simply enjoy the plot, and more grown up people that will have fun analysing it.
At least to me this is what makes a children's book interesting.
>I would argue theirs books meant for 3-6 year olds that are way better than other peoples picks
I'd have to disagree unless we are talking about books with great illustrations and so on.
I really can't see the appeal of reading one in adulthood besides nostalgia or deciding to buy it for a nephew or child of yours.
