Bookroo's summary

Carved from a talking piece of wood by the old woodcarver Geppetto, Pinocchio runs off in search of fun and lands in one scrape after another, from a puppet show to the belly of a giant shark. Each lie makes his nose grow, and only by learning honesty and kindness can he become a real boy. This edition pairs Collodi's story with art by several illustrators of the late 1800s and early 1900s.
