There are a handful of children's novels that have become so familiar over the course of time, particularly those that have resulted in one or more motion pictures such as Pinocchio.

Pinocchio is a fictional character, hero of a fairy tale of modern children's literature. A multitude of adaptations were taken from the original story: literary, theatrical, dance, television, film and comics, with hundreds of translations, illustrated versions and updates in music and song (Piumini, 2009).

Pinocchio mean in Tuscany gear. It is the edible seed of the umbrella pine whose kernel is protected by a thin shell is located inside the cone or pine cone.
