The puppet carver Geppetto can hardly believe his eyes when the puppet he created suddenly comes to life. He names the puppet Pinocchio and takes care of him as if he were a real son. However, on the way to school, the lovable good-for-nothing gets into trouble, and this is just the beginning of an odyssey in which Pinocchio slides from one adventure to the next. All the while, he longs to become a real boy made of flesh and blood. The Belgian illustrator Quentin Gréban has captured Pinocchio's adventures in exquisite watercolor illustrations.
