The Adventures of Pinocchio

JOANNE D'AMICO
About this episode

Tonight’s storytelling is the Story of Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi, also known as Carlo Lorenzini. Pinocchio is a puppet that was made by a wood carver named Gepetto. Pinocchio experiences many adventures as a puppet and he dreams of becoming a real boy. When he lies...his nose grows longer and longer and he is one of the most well known characters in children’s literature. I hope you enjoy this classic tale! May it bring you restful sleep.
