a new generation in this spectacular full-color deluxe gift edition,

Originally published in 1883, The Adventures of Pinocchio is one of
the best known and beloved children's classics. Written by Italian
political satirist Carlo Collodi, it is the story of Geppetto, a poor
puppeteer who uses an enchanted piece of wood to carve a marionette boy
he calls Pinocchio.
The impish Pinocchio does not want to be a puppet; he yearns to become a
real boy. Soon, his curiosity, mischievousness, and naivete lead him
away from his father's shop and into a series of perilous encounters
with vicious puppet masters, cunning animals, and other magical
characters. Along this perilous journey, the magical puppet learns how
much turmoil, heart, and hard work it takes to become a "real boy." With
a nose that grows larger with each lie he tells, Pinocchio has become an
enduring icon in children's literature, and now his story is brilliantly
reimagined in this stunning gift edition.
The Adventures of Pinocchio includes specially commissioned artwork
and exclusive interactive features, including:
- A Pinocchio puppet with clothing
- Additional finger puppets
- A small theatre for a puppet show
- A court deck with Pinocchio behind sliding bars
- A fold out shark revealing Pinocchio and Geppetto inside
This wondrous edition will enchant readers of every age an become a
treasured keepsake passed down for generations.
