Description: The enduring children's tale The Adventures of Pinocchio, retold for a new generation in this spectacular full-color deluxe gift edition, packed with beautiful artwork and seven interactive features created by the award-winning design studio behind the graphics for the Harry Potter film franchise, Mina Lima. Originally published in 1883, The Adventures of Pinocchio is one of the best known and beloved children's classics. Written by Italian political satirist Carlo Collodi, it is the story of Geppetto, a poor puppeteer who uses an enchanted piece of wood to carve a marionette boy he calls Pinocchio. The impish Pinocchio does not want to be a puppet; he yearns to become a real boy. Soon, his curiosity, mischievousness, and naivete lead him away from his father's shop and into a series of perilous encounters with vicious puppet masters, cunning animals, and other magical characters. Along this perilous journey, the magical puppet learns how much turmoil, heart, and hard work it takes to become a 'real boy." With a nose that grows larger with each lie he tells, Pinocchio has become an enduring icon in children's literature, and now his story is brilliantly reimagined in this stunning gift edition. The Adventures of Pinocchio includes specially commissioned artwork and exclusive interactive features, including:A Pinocchio puppet with clothing Additional finger puppets A small theatre for a puppet show A court deck with Pinocchio behind sliding bars A fold out shark revealing Pinocchio and Geppetto inside This wondrous edition will enchant readers of every age an become a treasured keepsake passed down for generations.

Review: This is a lavishly illustrated version of the classic 1883 tale, following Pinocchio, a wooden puppet who refuses to go to school or work for a living and ends up in a series of terrible adventures until he can learn how to become a real boy. My main take away from this book (and the various movie adaptations) is that Pinocchio is an absolute nightmare. Talk about out of the frying pan and into the fire, every chapter has Pinocchio hopping straight from a bad situation into one even worse and ignoring all opportunities to simply go home (of which there were plenty). It is a very frustrating story with a frankly unlikable protagonist, but it is a classic and has a very clear moral that you can’t argue with. The illustrations by MinaLima are stunning and add a lot to the story. There are less interactive elements than in some of their other books though, and this one involved pages that could be cut out from the book to make finger puppets and clothing for a Pinocchio puppet, which I personally refuse to do.
