Quarto. (16)pp. Six color lithographed movable plates, in which anthropomorphized dogs, monkeys, cats, hares, and hens engage in a range of activities, from painting to childcare. Eight additional black-and-white drawings accompany the text. This title first appeared in a French version, titled Histoire pour Rire, published by Capendu. That edition was slightly larger in format, contained one extra black-and-white illustration, and the accompanying text was in prose, as opposed to the verse that appears here. Some wear to inside front hinge, else an exceedingly fine copy of a Meggendorfer title that has no German equivalent.
