"Pinocchio is one of Italy's literary contributions to the world. This is a beloved classic that allows readers to experience cruelty, humor, and fantasy in a single work. Pinocchio is a naèive puppet that must learn from his mistakes, become responsible, and transform himself into a real boy. He's able to do all this, thanks to Jiminy Cricket, his conscience, and the guidance of Geppetto and his fairy godmother, who personify and paternal and maternal love."--
