Mai contenti, L'uomo del camion, Toc toc, Il prestidigitatore verde, Storia di tre ucellini, Il venditore di animali, Gigi cerca il suo berreto (The Animal Books)
Milan: Mondadori, 1945.
First editions. Seven volumes, complete. (Although 10 volumes are listed on the back of each book, only these seven were realized.) Vols. 3-7 white cloth-backed boards, stapled; 1-2 stapled stiff wraps. In the original Italian. Very Good+ overall with all flaps intact, no tears. Occasional very slight foxing. Bottom boards of 2, 3, and to a lesser extent 7 bumped. Some toning, most noticeably to 7's boards; 7 good with a bit of light staining and scuffing as well, faintly-visible erased pencil English translations. A beautiful set of Bruno Munari's animal-themed books for children, written during a period of interest in experimental education, designed with all manner of cut-outs and flaps to encourage creative exploration and play.
