(4) 4-6 Pino is now a real boy, working as an apprentice to his woodcarver papa, Geppetto. When it is discovered that Pino can bring wood to life (though at great personal cost), others attempt to exploit his talent, forcing Pino and Geppetto to flee for their lives. Set post–Collodi's Pinocchio, this is a dark tale of self-realization worthy, despite a didactic ending, of its source.
