Publisher's Note In a small village lived a lonely woodcutter named Geppetto. Longingfor a lit tle boy of his very own, he carved a puppet from a piece of wood and named him Pinocchio. No sooner did Geppetto finish carving his feet, when his life-long dream came true--the little puppet magically came to life! Soon Geppetto discovers he received more than he bargained for, as Pinocchio gets into trouble on a daily basis. Look for New Line's live-action motion picture starring Martin Landau and Jonathan Taylor Thomas from TV's Home Improvement.
