One rainy day, while daydreaming about how happy his life would be if he had a son of his own, a humble toy maker named Geppetto starts carving a puppet. And except for the single outstanding feature of a magnificently long nose, which makes the puppet appear somewhat mischievous, Pinocchio looks very much like a little boy, indeed. Just as Geppetto adds the finishing touches, however, Pinocchio springs to life and flees the cottage in search of adventure---only to discover that what he wants most of all is right at home. Based on the Italian novel by Carlo Collodi, this buoyant adaptation features the lush, engaging watercolors of Brian Ajhar.
