Pinocchio by Collodi.C is the story of a marionette, who is unique because he can walk, talk and do everything else that a little boy can. Through his adventures and misadventures, values and pitfalls, Collodi provides a realistic portrayal of a child's life and behaviour. Pinocchio dreams of becoming a real boy, but through his own folly and selfish choices, he encounters many dangers and difficulties. It is Pinocchio's love for his father Geppetto, his kind heart and his courage that finally redeems him in the end. And of course, he has a beautiful guardian angel the Azure
Fairy, who guides and watches over him. This timeless children's classic offers both insight and understanding into the
the mind of a child along with the important lessons that life teaches us all.
