Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi, Gioia Fiammenghi (Illustrator)

Pinocchio is a puppet with a difference—he’s alive!

Geppetto carves a wonderful puppet and gets more than he bargained for when the wood comes to life! His finished puppet can talk and walk and cause mischief. And when he tells a lie, Pinocchio’s nose grows and grows. But Pinocchio is also brave and adventurous, and truly, deep down, he just wants to become a real boy.
