Il primo Pinocchio

Guido Clericetti ci offre in forma completamente rinnovata una sua originalissima edizione della favola di Pinocchio da lui riscritta in rima.

Maestro Ciliegia, il falegname, ci resta proprio come un salame quand'ecco arriva Mastro Geppetto che cerca del legno, avendo in progetto di farsi, da solo, un burattino. Maestro Ciliegia, suo buon vicino, di regalargli quel pezzo è felice (ma che si lamenta non glielo dice).
