Reading class:
Find a friend and read Pinocchio (Disney Classic) (Little Golden Book) to them and discuss what they are hearing and why they shouldn’t lie.
The beloved tale of a wooden puppet who longs to become a real boy is as appealing now as when it was first released in 1940. The beautiful, vintage illustrations in this Little Golden Book retelling will charm children and collectors alike. It makes a great companion to the Platinum Edition DVD being released by Disney in spring 2009!
Thank you,
