Der var engang en fattig, ensom snedker ved navn Gepetto. Han boede alene på et lille værelse med et enkelt vindue. Snedkeren besluttede sig for at lave en marionetdukke til at holde sig med selskab. Han kaldte dukken for Pinocchio, og lagde så meget kærlighed i skabelsen af den, at den blev mere som en rigtig dreng end en marionetdukke. Pinocchio lignede en rigtig dreng og kunne danse og hoppe helt uden, at nogen trak i snorene. Og det var præcis, hvad han gerne ville være. Men før han kunne blive en rigtig dreng, måtte Pinocchio lære en hel masse. I denne bog vækkes den vidunderlige historie om Pinocchio og Gepetto til live af An Leysens smukke billeder. Hun fortæller denne klassiker på sin egen måde med sjove detaljer og en overraskende slutning. Pinocchio er en smuk bog til børn fra 5 år og op og for alle, som elsker klassiske, magiske historier.
