DESCRIPTION:
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. 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. Based on the Italian novel by Carlo Collodi, this buoyant adaptation features the lush, engaging watercolors of Brian Ajhar.

Though the book generally employs traditional format--with illustrations that occupy most of the page and few lines of text--many pages of its unusual layout contain dauntingly large amounts of copy. And, though they have little to do with Pinocchio, the book's gorgeous, tricolored endpapers are a compelling invitation to the visual delights within. Copyright 1990 Reed Business Information, Inc.
