Quarto. (7)ff. Contains six slatted transformations showing boys’ tricks and their consequences. For example, two little rascals pour sand into their father’s umbrella; pull the tab at the bottom, and sand spills on Papa when he opens his umbrella in the rain. Meggendorfer was a prolific Munich-born illustrator and movable book pioneer, whose works are known for their inventiveness and humor. Slight soiling to somewhat splayed pictorial boards, minor rubbing and bumping to corners, spine ends a trifle frayed. Overall near fine with all transformations bright and functional.
