Chatting Books Online Day 191. Today's recommended book is the classic : Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi. Last week one of our dear customers asked if we had a copy of Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi and much to my embarrassment the answer was No ! Sure , I have a lovely edition on my home bookshelf but did not offer one for sale at The Conundrum.
How can that be? How could we not carry the endearing Italian Fairy tale of the wooden puppet that longs to be a real boy? We had several similar stories (ginger bread men and even beignets who wanted to be real) but no classic Pinocchio!
Well we have now corrected that and we now carry two versions. The first is a beautiful hardcover storybook illustrated beautiful watercolors by Quentin Greban. This book runs 164 pages illustrated in full color and sells for $ 25.00 a copy. We also offer a copy called "The Adventures of Pinocchio : Lavishly illustrated with interactive elements".. This hardcover not only has the story with lovely illustrations but also includes "extras" like a pinocchio puppet you can press the perforations to pop out of the book and assemble . He has clothes like a paper doll so you can dress him up - and his nose even grows! It also includes a full puppet theater and additional finger puppets for even more storytelling fun! This book with interactive elements sells for $ 32.50 a copy and is part of a matching set with other books also with interactive elements which we also now carry including Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan,and Beauty and the Beast .
To purchase a copy of this book come see us Mondays - Saturdays between 10:00am and 4pm, and Sundays between Noon and 4pm at the shop, or you can message me and we can ship a copy directly to you. Take Care , and Mask Up ! .
