Pinocchio, a wooden puppet full of tricks and mischief, with a talent for getting into and out of trouble, wants more than anything else to become a real boy.

Pinocchio has been turned into a boy but no one, not even he, realizes it as he walks through Collodi-town trying to get some hot chicken soup for Geppetto.

With full page color illustrations from the Disney animated film of 1940, this is the story of Pinocchio, a puppet, Geppetto the toy store owner who created him, the Blue Fairy who brought the puppet to life and Jiminy Cricket who tells the story of their adventures.

Told as a story of cosmic beginnings, this version of Pinocchio is about the formative energy and magic that reside in the wood that becomes the boy. This version is also about life on the molecular level and what it means to think about our composition as human beings from the point of view of energy and cosmic matter.
