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 Pinocchio's 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.Filled with humor and adventure, and sealed with a heartwarming conclusion, this time-honored fable has thrilled youngsters for over one hundred years. In this edition, it will continue to enchant new readers and listeners.
