A quirky animal seller presents us with a series of fanciful creatures with strange habits: a flamingo smoking a pipe, a slightly tipsy armadillo, a grumpy porcupine... but nothing satisfies his potential buyer, not even a centipede to take for a walk. Perhaps what he’s really looking for isn’t exactly a pet...

Along with eight other titles, Il venditore di animali is part of the historic Libri del '45 series that Bruno Munari created after the birth of his son Alberto. These books, made with die-cuts, holes, and large, elegant illustrations, invite a game of discovery and exploration, leaving everyone captivated by the magic that paper can create.

This series—a timeless classic that will celebrate its 80th anniversary in 2025 since its first edition—has retained its originality and aims to stimulate children's curiosity, showing them that inside something, there is always something else, encouraging them to explore with wonder. Many of these books were inspired by games and rituals that Munari played with his son Alberto, which he then chose to put on paper. For the joy of all children, and not just them.
