A bright, illustrated retelling of the classic children's tale!
Long before Disney's animated movie, the Italian tale of Pinocchio was
born, becoming one of the most well-known and reimagined characters in
children's literature. In a small town, a lonely woodcarver named
Geppetto carves a small wooden puppet, who suddenly comes to life!
Geppetto comes to love the small boy, whom he names Pinocchio. One day,
while on his way to school, Pinocchio comes across a puppet show and is
so excited he gets up on stage and dances along with the marionettes.
The puppet master pays him for his work, and Pinocchio sets off home,
but soon comes across a pair of thieves, a fox and a cat. Disguised as
lame beggars, they trick Pinocchio into paying for their dinner, and
soon Pinocchio is set on a path that leads him, while trying to find his
father, who has been fearfully searching for his wooden son, straight
into the belly of a whale!
