Publisher Summary
 

When the old woodcarver Geppetto decides to make a puppet boy to dance and turn somersaults, he doesn't know that he has chosen a magical piece of wood. To his amazement, his puppet can talk and play just like the liveliest child. But a human soul must be earned, and thus begin the adventures of Pinocchio.

A tragicomic figure, Pinocchio is a poor, illiterate peasant boy with few choices in life who usually chooses to shirk his responsibilities and get into trouble. Pinocchio plays pranks on Geppetto, is duped by Fox and Cat, smashes the pedantic talking Cricket, and narrowly escapes death with the help of the blue-haired Fairy. But he is also brave, and as he stumbles from one predicament to the next, he makes his way unsteadily toward his heart's desire.

Review by Amanda from Livingston, NJ | 6/26/2011

Disney really edited this.... a cross between the gingerbread man (pinocchio) and the giving tree (geppetto)



as near as I can tell, this version is not a retelling. compared with Rand McNally & Company 1939. skimmed the text and it appears the same :)

Review by Chris from Phippsburg, ME | 6/20/2011

Not the edition we had when I was a child(50's) but close enough. I don't know
that I'd recognize the cover even if it was in the lookup list. Some of my first book/look/reading experience. Date read is just approximate.
