What year was the book that Jiminy Cricket is based off of published?
Jiminy Cricket Jiminy Cricket is the Walt Disney version of The Talking Cricket (Italian: "Il Grillo Parlante" ), a fictional character created by Carlo Collodi for his children's book "The Adventures of Pinocchio", which Disney adapted into the animated film "Pinocchio" in 1940. Originally an unnamed, minor character in Collodi's novel, he was transformed in the Disney version into a comical and wise partner who accompanies Pinocchio on his adventures, having been appointed by the Blue Fairy (known in the book as The Fairy with Turquoise Hair) to serve as Pinocchio's official conscience. His design is different from real crickets, which are black or dark brown, with very long antennae. Since his debut in "Pinocchio", he has become a recurring iconic Disney character and has made numerous other appearances.
The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck is a children's book written and illustrated by Beatrix Potter. It was first published by Frederick Warne & Co. in July 1908. Potter composed the book at Hill Top, a working farm in the Lake District she bought in 1905. Following the purchase, her works began to focus on country and village life, incorporating large casts of animal characters and sinister villains. "Jemima Puddle-Duck" was the first of her books set wholly at the farm with background illustrations based on the farm buildings and yard, and nearby locales.
