The wonderful story about Gepetto and Pinocchio is brought to life by An Leysen's beautiful images. She tells this classic in her own way, with fun details and a surprising end. Once upon a time there was a poor and lonely carpenter. His name was Gepetto. He lived all by himself in a small room with one tiny window to let in the light. The carpenter decided to make a puppet to keep him company. He named the puppet Pinocchio and put so much love into making him, that he became more than just a regular wooden puppet. Pinocchio looked just like a real boy and could dance and jump without anyone pulling any strings. And that's just what he wanted to be. But before he could become a real boy, Pinocchio had to learn many lessons. This is a beautiful book for children ages 5 and up, and for everyone who loves classic magical stories.
