Which children's story tells of a wooden puppet that comes to life?
You answered your own question- Pinocchio. Did it ever occur to you that Pinocchio, Frosty the Snow Man, the Golem- and yes Frankenstein are all in the same vein- artificial life- and usually it goes bad.
Geppetto was Pinocchio's creator. He sculpted the wooden boy.
How did Pinocchio get swallowed by the whale?
When he tried to decide what to call his new puppet, Geppetto thought of a family named Pinocchio, and decided to call him that.
The name Pinocchio simply means "piney", the thing (-occhio) carved from pino, pine. In Tuscan Italian, pinocchio is the term used to refer to the pine nut, usually called pignoli.
Does your nose change as you grow?
Yes. Noses are made of cartilage, which keeps growing through out your life.
What kind of whale is in pinnochio?

The whale in the 1883 book, The Adventures of Pinocchio, by Carlo Collodi, is called Il Terribile Pescecane or The Terrible Dogfish.
What is the reactions of jack and the beanstalk?
Jack and the Beanstalk is almost a biblical story! It is so close in theory that you have to believe that the reason it has been around so long is to teach children right makes right and wrong eventually gets cut loose and left to die! This sweet young boy, faithful to his mom, though they are poor and hungry, he sticks by her side helping her and not wanting her to be hurt but in his innocence lets an old man talk him out of their last two pennies for a few beans. His mother becomes frustrated and angry as much at the old man for tricking her son as at her son so she throws the beans out the window. A waste of good food when you are hungry, if you ask me! You can imagine the reaction of Jack when he awakens the next day to find a beanstalk growing up into the heavens then finds he can climb it and "then" finds the giants castle with the hen that lays golden eggs. Wouldn't it just be great if life were really like that? And aren't people always hunting that golden egg laying hen only to find a big ole giant swinging down the pole after them and them without an axe!!? What most people stumble over then just keep on going is that it all begins with you loving and caring for your parents. If you don't have a kind heart toward your morally good parents, nothing really good is going to come out or go into you.

Who wanted Pinocchio to join the circus?
Pinocchio was not in a circus. He and some other guys/animals cut school and went to a sort of carnival or amusement park called Pleasure Island- some being turned into Mules for this ( jackass) like dumb act.
The Pinocchio effect is the measurable consequence of embellishing, fabricating, and uttering lies. The phrase refers to the main character in the 1940-released Walt Disney classic based upon the children's novel Le Avventure di Pinocchio ("The Adventures of Pinocchio") by Carlo Collodi (Lorenzini, November 24, 1826 - October 26, 1890). The character's commitment to non-truths results in a longer and longer nose whereas twenty-first century Earthlings purportedly experience temperature rises in the nose and the inner eye corner's orbital muscle.
The verb to cry has several meanings- including a battle-cry or slogan, for example, not at all mournful or lugubrious. on the other hand , were he to cry it might be moist sawdust or wood shavings- as he was a wooden puppet! I don"t recall any slogan such as ( Up, Up, and Away!) ( Superman"s slogan) associate with Pinocchio but I am not a Pinocchio fan.
