Review:
Michael Morpurgo divides his time between his writing and running Farms for City Children, a charity that each year takes up to 3,000 children to a working farm for a week. Michael and his wife Clare were awarded MBEs this year for their work with the charity. Before the first farm opened 22 years ago, Michael was a teacher and his knowledge of children's experiences, plus his experience of Farms, enrich his writing enormously.Michael Morpurgo has won the Whitbread Children's Book Award and the Smarties Book Prize.
PRAISE FOR PINOCCHIO: "This classic puppet story has tended to be a little, well, wooden in the telling, but Morpurgo has made it dance." The Times "A charming read, even for those who think they already know the story of Pinocchio inside out." Evening Echo "A beautiful reworking of the classic story." EDP Weekend PRAISE FOR MICHAEL MORPURGO: "As ever, Morpurgo's warmth and humanity suffuse a story of courage, love and hope." Amanda Craig, The Times "Passionate and touching" Julia Eccleshare "Morpurgo is a virtuoso at conjuring vibrant stories that draw on historical events." The Observer Review "Champagne quality over a wide range of subjects." The Telegraph

The perfect gift for all ages, Pinocchio as you've never seen him before: telling his own story through the master storyteller and award-winning author of WAR HORSE. ?Now ? there?s no point in pretending here ? I was, and still am deep down, a puppet. Everyone knows Pinocchio is a puppet. I reckon I must be just about the most famous puppet the world has ever known. But the truth is I?m not just a puppet, I?m more than just bits of wood and string. I?m me. So I thought it was about time that I, Pinocchio, told you my story.? So begins this stunningly beautiful interpretation of the classic story. Michael Morpurgo channels Pinocchio?s words to tell the famous puppet?s story in his own inimitable, cheeky and always funny way. This is the classic story of Pinocchio, given a whole new twist by author Michael Morpurgo and illustrator Emma Chichester Clark. Told through the words of Pinocchio himself, we hear his story from his very beginnings as a tiny cherry-pip, which grew into a cherry-tree, which finally become the puppet Pinocchio and then the boy. For, as every knows, deep down, Pinocchio is a puppet. He is also, so much more than that ? and this is the story of his adventures. The illustrations really make the story come alive and this is bound to become a classic in its own right. Ref WWW 1. Seller Inventory # 032655
