INTERMEDIATE FICTION
(4) 4-6 The classic Italian story of a wooden puppet who becomes a real boy is illustrated with a gallery of vintage images, both in color and black and white, by the tale's illustrators from the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. While the book lacks visual unity, it is nonetheless a handsome compilation that will hold special appeal for those interested in the history of children's book illustration.
