About
Alfonso, the thoroughly likeable green magician, disappears and reappears in trunks and boxes. At the end he finally manages to play his violin in peace.
Together with other eight albums, The birthday present is part of the historic 1945 series created by Munari. He devised these lively books/albums for children using large pictures, pages and inserts of different sizes and varying holes to arouse the curiosity of the observer and let the reader literally hang at each page.
