Features: Pinocchio is a classic fairy tale story left to the world by the 18th-century Italian writer, Carlo Collodi. The protagonist of the story is a little wooden puppet named Pinocchio. He was meticulously carved by the old puppet maker, Geppetto. As soon as Pinocchio was carved, he came to life, but he was always yearning to become a real boy. To fulfill this wish, Pinocchio promised the Blue Fairy that he would be an honest, brave, and selfless child. The Fairy granted his request, but as a punishment, every time Pinocchio lied, his nose would grow longer. In the process of transforming into a living, breathing human, Pinocchio endured countless hardships and trials. Eventually, he came to understand the meaning of honesty and fulfilled his long-held dream of becoming a true, living "person." In terms of educational value, this is a fable as well as a must-read for growing up. This illustrated Pinocchio is not only for children but also for adults—it is a unforgettable memory for everyone of the little wooden puppet whose nose would grow every time he lied.
