In this story, an expanded version of Collodi's original tale, we see him lose his tail to an ancient crocodile, end up as a valet to a young master, fall into the hands of flying bandits and become emperor of a tribe of apes. <p/>Collodi wrote this story immediately after <i>Pinocchio</i>, and the little monkey's adventures present clear similarities, both in terms of themes and characters, with his more celebrated masterpiece. This rediscovered gem of Italian literature, beautifully illustrated by Axel Scheffler and preserving all of Collodi's trademark wit and linguistic crispness, will delight and enthrall a new generation of children.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"A gentle and amusing story from the author of Pinocchio with plenty of excitement and food for thought" --<i>Primary Times</i> <p/>"A must-read for all adventure-loving children and a fantastic addition to any library" --<i>The School Librarian</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Carlo Collodi</b> wrote this story immediately after <i>Pinocchio</i>, and the little monkey's adventures present clear similarities, both in terms of themes and characters, with his more celebrated masterpiece.
