Pinocchio was naughty from the very first day that Geppetto created him. Instead of going to school or learning a trade the little puppet who magically came to life wanted only to eat drink sleep and play.
Poor Pinocchios problems grew — as did his nose every time he told a lie which was quite often. And even worse he found himself in one dreadful situation after another; in prison turned into a donkey and even stranded in the belly of an enormous shark.
Enhanced by Thea Kliross 32 original illustrations this newly abridged version of the beloved story includes all the familiar characters: Geppetto a childless woodcarver; a wise old cricket; a sly fox and conniving cat; a lovely fairy; and a host of other figures.
Filled with humor and adventure and sealed with a heartwarming conclusion this time-honored fable has thrilled youngsters for over 100 years. In this inexpensive edition it will continue to enchant new readers and listeners.
