Other editions of book Pinocchio the Story of a Puppet

Pinocchio is the story of the poor old wood carver, Geppetto, who decides to make a puppet that can dance and leap and turn somersaults. Geppetto selects a most unusual piece of wood, for as he carves his puppet into human shape, it gradually comes to life. Besides being naughty, Pinocchio turns out to be inquisitive and quite brave, surviving some astonishing adventures before he earns the thing he most desires--to be a real boy. 2 cassettes.

Pinocchio is a classic of children's literature and this retelling by Joy Cowley distinguishes itself through its neat ability to make the plot concise and easy for children to read. The timeless story of the naïve and mischievous wooden puppet is perfectly matched in this picture book with illustrations that use a detailed woodblock and etching technique.
