Description
Ages 10 and up A menacing fairy tale with a moral, Pinocchio follows the perilous adventures of a wooden puppet who dreams of becoming real. As he journeys from the deceptive "Field of Miracles" to the land where lazy boys turn into donkeys, Pinocchio's unrestrained curiosity, dishonesty, and selfishness put him in constant danger. And all the while his nose keeps growing larger whenever he tells a lie . . .
