| Publisher Description: The Adventures of Pinocchio is the original tale of the wooden puppet who wants to be a real boy. In a small Italian village, an old wood-carver named Geppetto lovingly crafts a wooden puppet. But unbeknownst to him, the wood he used was extremely unusual, and when the toy is finished, it comes alive Named Pinocchio, the puppet can do everything a living boy can do - especially when it comes to making mischief. Pinocchio longs to become a real flesh-and-blood child, but must survive many adventures and learn a few life lessons before achieving his fondest wish. This lively story is full of humor and social observation - much of which has been lost in later re-tellings. Read it yourself and discover the reasons for its enduring popularity with all ages. |
