Small quarto. (8)ff. Illustrated by W. Foster and G. H. Thompson with six chromolithographed slat-transformation plates. One of the earliest of Nister’s movable books. By pulling a tab, mischievous kittens turn into good ones, a soda pop bottle explodes on two unsuspecting puppies, weeping Jack and Jill become amorous Boy Blue and Bo-Peep, etc. Printed in Bavaria. In original chromolithographed cloth-backed boards. Inscription of former owner to front flyleaf. Some soiling; large chip out of front of scarce dust jacket, else near fine with all transformation scenes in fine working order.
