Description

PINOCCHIO by Carlo Collodi is a much-loved family favourite.
The old wood-carver Geppetto decides to make a wonderful puppet which can dance and turn somersaults, but by chance he chooses an unusual piece of wood - and the finished puppet can talk and misbehave like the liveliest child. But Pinocchio is brave and inquisitive as well as naughty, and after some hair-raising adventures, he earns his heart's desire.
With an introduction by bestselling author John Boyne, and including child-friendly endnotes.
