But I'm not like the other boys! I'm better than all of them, and I always tell the truth. The amazing story of the puppet who can talk, dance, and do somersaults has been one of the most beloved children's book classics for 130 years. The unruly and disobedient Pinocchio ignores his father's well-meaning advice and sets off into the world. There, he encounters many mysterious characters and stumbles from one adventure to the next.
