This version of Carlo Collodi's classic work is printed in a large typeface on oversize pages, giving the volume a reader-friendly appearance. The retold prose satisfactorily relates the adventures of the puppet who wanted to be a boy but serves mainly as a showcase for Philpot's charming, impressively detailed illustrations.
