Pinocchio by Pinocchio

the long version

"'Everyone knows Pinocchio is a puppet. I reckon I must be just about the most famous puppet the world has ever known. But the truth is that I'm more than just bits of wood and string. I'm me. So I thought it was about time that I, Pinocchio, told you my story ... ' So begins this stunningly beautiful interpretation of the classic story, now abridged for reading together with younger children. Michael Morpurgo channels Pinocchio's words to tell the famous puppet's story in his own inimitable, cheeky and always funny way."--Amazon.
