Pinocchio

Every child knows about Pinocchio, the
wooden puppet who comes to life and
discovers that his nose grows longer
every time he tells a lie - but there is
much more to the original story than that.
Meet the friendly old puppeteer Geppetto
and watch as his creation struggles
through a web of challenges, developing
from an egotistical child into a boy who
understands that others have feelings
too.
Every parent will recognize Pinocchio s
traits - the abhorrence of hypocrisy, the
stubbornness, laziness, and his
propensity to lie and lie, digging a deeper
hole for himself with every word. Collodi s
character is an hilarious psychological
study of the selfishness of childhood, as
well as an addictively well-told story.
