Pinocchio
Sears, Ted.
Woodcarver Geppetto has pets Figaro the cat and Cleo the fish. He has just made a little wooden puppet called Pinocchio. Wishing upon a star before he goes to bed
Geppetto wishes that Pinocchio would become a real boy. As Geppetto sleeps
the Blue Fairy arrives and partially grants his wish. Pinocchio can come to life
but he must prove himself worthy before becoming a real boy. He will require some guidance
and Jiminy Cricket agrees to act as his conscience. After some unfortunate incidents
Pinocchio finds himself in trouble. The Blue Fairy appears. Pinocchio lies to her and his nose grows. He is forgiven
but warned not to lie again.
