Bruno Munari was an Italian artist and designer who treated children’s books as seriously as machines or architecture. His 1963 book Bruno Munari’s Zoo leads readers through a half-real, half-imaginary menagerie using bold colours, unusual layouts and mischievous signposts. More than twenty animals receive brief introductions: a rhinoceros is always ready to fight, a kangaroo is all legs but does not know it, and a peacock is proud simply because he is a peacock.
