Pinocchio

The story follows the adventures of a wooden puppet named Pinocchio, carved by a poor carpenter named Geppetto. Though he was created as a puppet, Pinocchio dreams of becoming a “real boy.” However, he is often mischievous, lazy, and easily led astray by bad company, such as the Fox and the Cat. His journey is filled with fantastic and sometimes dark encounters that serve as moral lessons. Known for the iconic detail that his nose grows whenever he tells a lie, the book is a profound allegory of the difficult path toward maturity, responsibility, and redemption.
