Product Information

Special Edition (full story) at discount price! Picchio and the Dragons of Martoon is a new and interesting Picchio story. During his quest to become a real boy, Picchio travels to Martoon - a planet inhabited by warring aliens. Along with his new friends, Merlo the Martoonian, Tizzy the catgirl and Minimo the mouse - and the unwelcomed Ringmaster, he has many exciting adventures during which he learns a great deal t only about the aliens, but also about himself and his desire to become a real boy. Picchio and the Dragons of Martoon is an interesting blend of realism and fantasy, a charming and exciting read - with over 60 illustrations - and a book that people of all ages can enjoy. In the classic story The Adventures of Picchio by Carlo Collodi, the carpenter Geppetto carves a block of pinewood into a boy puppet he names Picchio. As soon as Picchio's se is carved, it begins to grow whenever he tells a lie. When his feet are carved, they kick Geppetto. At first Picchio is certainly t a good puppet or a good son. He needs to learn many lessons about life. But as naughty as Picchio is, Geppetto still loves him and gives him room to grow. Through his many adventures, failures and successes, Picchio learns that many things in life are t free and have to be earned. Although the Picchio in this new story is carved out of wood, he looks very much like a real boy and t at all like the Picchio drawn or imagined by artists of other books, films and television. One would have to look closely at this Picchio to tice the fine grains of polished wood. He also looks and speaks like a real boy, just like the one he dreams of becoming. In his quest for this dream, Picchio has many adventures, including Picchio and the Dragons of Martoon, which starts when both he and Geppetto were swallowed by the whale.
