Description

Mischievous, lazy, and full of tricks, the puppet Pinocchio causes trouble for his creator, Geppetto, almost as soon as he comes to life. Yet, more than anything, this naughty and playful creature wants to become a real boy. To make his dreams come true, he must prove himself worthy. Come along on Pinocchio’s amazing journey as he learns—the hard way—what it means to be honest, kind, and, above all, human.

This story is about a puppet maker that makes a puppet and names him Pinocchio but then he turns into a real boy. My favorite part about this story is how Pinocchio's nose grows when he lies. This story would be a great story to tell to lower elementary to teach them the consequences of lying.
