Prehistory

R. Marcolin, V. Manuzzato, G. Meneguzzo

70 x 48 cm (27.5” x 19”)

200 pieces + 3D model

Discover the human history with a journey that starts two

million years ago. Explore the Stone Age and the evolution of

the mankind, from the earliest hominids until homo-sapiens,

and see the animals that populated Earth during that time,

such as the great mammoths and the saber-toothed tigers.

Learn this chapter of history explained in a simple and fun

way, recreating the evolutionary stages of humans with a

handy 3D model and a colorful puzzle to build.

THE PALAEOLITHIC

FROM THE APES TO THE FIRST HUMANS

The Palaeolithic, whose name derives from the Greek palaiós

(old) and líthos (stone), is the first stage of Prehistory. It began

about 2 million years ago and ended 10,000 years ago.

The humans who populate Earth today

belong to the species Homo sapiens.

We are the result of the slow evolution

of hominins, or the first humans who,

according to scholars, date to more

than 4 million years ago.

The term Palaeolithic,

therefore, means ‘old

stone era’, a time in which

humans learned to work

with stone to create the

first tools.

The hominins belong to

the order of primates, the

same order as monkeys, in

particular a group of apes,

similar to humans, like the

chimpanzee, gorilla and

orangutan.


There are still conflicting opinions on the origin of the human

species. There are many findings, especially in Africa, but we do not

know how hominins appeared in the family of primates. In Africa,

we know that between 4 and 5 million years ago, there lived some

species of hominins, called Australopithecus, who were different

from monkeys because of their erect posture and bipedal gait.

LIFE IN THE INDIAN OCEAN

GREEN TURTLE

A green turtle can be 125 centimetres

(49 inches) long and weigh up to 230

kilograms (507 pounds)! Each year,

groups of thousands of these turtles

migrate as much as 2,000 kilometres

(1,240 miles) to move from the areas

where they feed to those where they

mate and lay their eggs.

SPECTACLED PORPOISE

This type of porpoise is easy to recognise because it has rings

around its eyes. It has a black back with a large round fin and a

white belly. Spectacled porpoises eat squid and fish, and they live

in herds of up to twenty-five.

This porpoise is a very fast swimmer!

CHAGOS ISLANDS

The Chagos Islands are the world’s largest natural marine reserve and

a treasure trove of marine biodiversity. They include the largest coral

The models have been recreated down to the smallest

original drawings.

Extraordinary Inventions

Many of Leonardo’s inventions were born out of his great ability to observe reality and to imagine

solutions to everyday practical problems. Some of Leonardo’s works of genius came to light

because of particular events during his life.

Great Floods

The Arno River flows through Florence, which

at one time when it was full brought floods and

destruction. So Leonardo began to imagine works

Revolving Bridge

and machines to protect people from floods. He

designed special boats to dredge the riverbed,

methods to make the banks sturdier, machines to

dig canals and even revolving bridges!

Leonardo and the War Machines

Notwithstanding Leonardo’s very many inventions, the rulers at that time contended

for his genius, especially for his ability to invent powerful war machines and effective

defence systems. During the Renaissance, in fact, many kingdoms were involved in

conflicts and had recently been introduced to firearms. It was very important, therefore,

to have machines that could cope with these new, deadly instruments!

Many Wars on the Horizon

In Leonardo’s time, Italy was divided into many different ‘States’, called duchies, seigniories and principalities, depending

on who ruled them. Each of these powerful rulers wanted to expand their territory and become ever more important. In

short, war was the order of the day! In this context, Leonardo’s intelligence was in high demand to build new and up-todate

war machines.

Mechanical Music

and Drummers

In Leonardo’s time there were many wars. In the

battlefields were ‘drummers’, boys equipped with a drum

who beat the instrument to the rhythm of the battle.

Unarmed and unprotected, these boys were often among

the first victims!

To avoid this unnecessary massacre, Leonardo devised

an automatic drum that advanced on wheels connected

to a roller on which the music was recorded, so the

drummer moving it could protect himself! Leonardo was

able to reuse this machine even in peacetime, removing

the wheel and replacing it with a crank. So during court

festivities the sound of automated music could be

heard... like that of a turntable!

Construction Crane

Dangerous Work Sites

Pile Driver

When Leonardo arrived at Verrocchio’s workshop in

Florence, architects and artists were holding their

breath in suspense because of an unbelievable

undertaking: the construction of Brunelleschi’s dome,

which you can still see in the city today! The workshop

was right next to the building site: what luck for

Leonardo to be able to observe up close the work and

machines for building the dome!

Although, working on the work site was tiring and

dangerous: many accidents occurred and often to

workers who were little more than children. Leonardo

studied the machines used on the site and began to

design them to be safer, alleviating the manual work.

Thanks to his innovations, many lives could be saved.

War, ‘Most Bestial Madness’

Despite his ability to create war machines, Leonardo detested

war, calling it the ‘most bestial madness’. His interest in arms was

therefore not military but rather pure technological curiosity! It

is no coincidence that Leonardo decided not to divulge or adopt

many of his military innovations.

An Innovation Too Powerful

One of his inventions was the ‘rapid-fire crossbow’. Loading the

crossbow, a major weapon in these times, was burdensome and

time-consuming. Leonardo invented an ‘automatic load’, which

allowed the crossbow to launch arrows in repetition. Leonardo

knew the crossbow would become a powerful weapon and chose

not to make known this dangerous invention.

The Submersible

On a codex sheet dedicated to military action against an enemy fleet, there is

a design for an underwater suit. Leonardo devised it as a kind of incursion to

sabotage the hulls of ships and sink them.

He also designed the first submersible that, hidden beneath the hull of a small

ship, could approach the enemy fleet undisturbed. Leonardo himself was

horrified by the destructive potential of this machine and decided not to make

this invention known to the public.

The Little Prince


The Little

Illustrator

Susy Zanella

A distant asteroid, infested with baobabs and inhabited by a haughty

Few great classics are able to inspire such powerful fascination

as The Little Prince: a new edition embellished with enchanting

illustrations and a cover that brings this eternal story to the present

day, dedicated to those seeking happiness in the little things.

A book with a new look, elegant illustrations and an exquisite

presentation.

His first stop was an asteroid-planet ruled by a king. Adorned in

purple and with an ermine robe that covered the entire planet, he

sat puffed up upon a throne.


‘Here is a subject’, he began to declare.

‘May I sit down?’ the Little Prince asked.

‘I order you to sit down!’ the king thundered. He demanded

obedience, but he was good, so he ordered the obvious and the

reasonable.

On this asteroid, however, there was no one else besides the king.

‘Sire, what do you reign over?’ asked the Little Prince.

‘Over all things’, the monarch replied, ‘Over the universe, the other

planets, everything.’

‘Can you order the sun to set?’ the child asked.

‘It would be like asking a person to fly like a butterfly. We must

demand from each only what each can give’, the king declared,

‘That is why everything obeys me.’

Surprised by the strangeness of grown-ups, the Little Prince

resumed his journey.

A new edition of a great classic filled with refined and elegant

Illustrator

Susy Zanella


While the Lost Children embraced their new mother, on the

other side of the island a pirate crew was crafting evil plans. The

pirates, in fact, hated children, and the two sides were always at

war with each other.

The captain of the crew was James Hook, a man of refined

bearing but a menacing gaze. Pale, with long black curls and

terrifying ice-cold eyes, Hook got his name from the iron claw

that replaced his right hand.

‘I want to capture Peter Pan and cut him into little pieces’, Hook

would say, filled with anger, ‘He was the one who cut off my

hand and threw it to a crocodile.’

‘Are you afraid of crocodiles?’ asked Smee, his faithful helper.

‘Only of that monster that took my hand. Fortunately, he also ate

a clock. So, when I hear the ticking, I know my enemy is near’,

the captain explained, ‘Peter Pan must pay for what he did.’

On the pirates’ trail, however, there was no Peter Pan that day.

And not a crocodile in sight.

Little Red Riding Hood

E. Tomè, N. Fabris

Read a great classic of children’s stories

in an innovative format. This 32-page

book with beautiful laser illustrations

lets readers enjoy the fairy tale in a

whole new way!

Once upon a time,

in a distant land, there was

a sweet and lovely little girl

who lived with her mother in a

white cottage near the woods.

She always wore a beautiful red cape

that her mother had sewn for her, and

for this reason everyone throughout the

land called her Little Red Riding Hood.

The eyes belonged to a clever, black wolf, who, curious, had been following Little Red Riding Hood for a while.

The wolf greeted the girl with a gruff voice and asked, ‘Little girl, where are you going all alone in the woods?’

At that moment, Little Red Riding Hood forgot her mother’s warning and politely replied, ‘I’m going to visit my

grandmother, who lives alone beyond the woods and is sick in bed’. The wolf thought the little girl would make a

tasty treat, and he also thought he could eat the grandmother, too! So, the clever wolf proposed a race to the

cottage to make the journey more fun: ‘Let’s see which one of us arrives first at grandmother’s house!’

Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Alice. In the

summer afternoons, Alice spent long hours reading aloud with

her sister in the garden. One day, she was bored and about to

fall asleep when, suddenly, she saw a curious white rabbit running

breathlessly towards her.

‘Poor me, how late it is!

I am so very late!’

repeated the rabbit to himself,

looking nervously at his watch.

The little rabbit, hurrying about in his waistcoat,

rushed to the entrance of a deep den. Alice was curious

and decided to follow him.

‘This den is quite strange’, Alice murmured as she stepped into

the darkness. Suddenly, a hole opened in front of her and the

little girl tumbled down. She fell gently, slowed by her fluffy

skirt. Arriving at the

bottom of the hole,

Alice found herself

in a room full of tiny

doors. Through a

keyhole Alice saw

a beautiful garden.

Unfortunately,

however, the door

was locked.

Determined to open the

door, Alice looked around

and found a bottle labelled

with a note. Written on the

note were the words: ‘Drink me’.

The invitation was clear. The

little girl tasted the contents.

Iris hated using her fork to eat, sitting up straight, wiping her mouth

with her napkin, tidying up her toys and putting on her pajamas to

go to sleep. She loved looking at the stars, but when they popped

up in the black sky, she was forced to get under the covers. On

Christmas night, however, Iris discovers a monster under her bed...

and realizes she is not the only one who always wants to do things

“upside down”!

A Christmas story dedicated to the beauty of thinking for yourself

and accepting someone else’s point of view even when it is different

from your own.

That evening, however, Iris had sat up straight

at the table with a napkin on her lap, she had used

her fork to eat and was now ready in her pyjamas

after having tidied up her toys, all set for bed.

She got into bed and turned off the light without a word.

This was because she could not wait for the morning

to arrive: Christmas morning.

Iris did not turn on the light for fear

that the monster would disappear,

just as many dreams do in the morning light.

The little monster was sleeping and he didn't seem

to want to wake, despite Iris’s gentle taps and pinches.

Suddenly he opened his eyes as if it were daylight

and he smiled and said:

‘Hi, I’m Milo!’

Mum, as always,

was right:

the monster was

neither big nor

pot-bellied.

It was just

a little monster.

Her mother always assured her that

there were no big pot-bellied monsters

under her bed and that she was safe and secure.

But Iris was not afraid of monsters!

you were invisible. Then February arrived, and the teasing started.

A girl mocked you because you were a little bigger than the others.

So every day, every time you were teased, with every cruel word, and

every time you were left out, you felt more and more unhappy. It

gives up the Dummy


Little otter’s dummy is missing! Or maybe someone took it.

Little otter sets out to investigate. Where could the dummy be?

This rhyming story uses sweet characters to show children that

life without a dummy is perfectly fine—and maybe better.



Little otter began to search,

wasn’t on its perch.

The dog huffed.

Its chest was puffed.

‘Do you see me? I’m big and strong.

I go without a dummy all day long’.

Little otter considered

that a dummy so cool

might be taken by a

DOG that drooled.

One morning little otter rose,

waking from a heavy doze

to find the DUMMY wasn’t in its place.

It had disappeared without a trace.

Little otter always wanted it near,

whether out of joy or out of fear.

WHERE?

and looked at him with bulging eyes.

‘Little otter ’, the frogs croaked,

‘why are you here? Want to soak?’

‘I haven’t seen my DUMMY, have you?

Might it be here amidst the bamboo?’

The frogs swiftly heeded little otter

Fishing for

Words

Chiara Sorrentino

Illustrated by Martina Rotondo

Docked on a pier up in the sky is a ship that each night lifts its

anchor and sets sail. On board the ship is a family of fishers. No one

knows their names: everyone calls them the word fishers. They fish

the skies all around the world, looking for words that are stuck in

mid-air, wating to be written or spoken again. From their ship they

cast nets woven of stars that light the darkness and capture the

things said and the things left unsaid during the day.

FISHING FOR WORDS

A sweet story dedicated to the power of words.

On the Milky Way, one hundred wing beats from the North Star

and one thousand waltz turns from the moon, there’s a pier

that floats on the clouds.

It rests on dandelion seeds blown by children making wishes.

Docked on that pier up there in the sky is a ship

that each night lifts its anchor and sets sail.

On board the ship is a family of fishers: mother,

father, and their son. No one knows their names.

Up there amidst the clouds, a place only those with wings

can reach, everyone calls them the word fishers.

LOVE

Dawn is breaking, and it’s becoming more difficult to see the words.

They turn as transparent as air. The fishers yawn and squint their

eyes. They know that soon they’ll have to return to the dock to rest.

‘We’ll get it next time’, their son says. ‘Look what I caught!’

And he shows them his bottles full of words.

His parents look them over. They shake them gently,

and then they turn to him and smile.

‘Good job, son. You’ve outdone us.’

The word fishers fish the skies all around the world,

looking for words that are stuck in mid-air,

waiting to be written or spoken again.

From their ship they cast nets

woven of stars that light the

darkness and capture the things

said and the things left unsaid

during the day.

But while the son is smiling with satisfaction

over his catch, his parents look sad.

‘We lost it’, they sigh.

Just then, as the ship docks and the sun climbs above the

horizon, the large firefly word lands on the prow of the ship.

The letters have almost completely faded now, but they can

just be made out in the morning haze.

When they bring the nets back up

to the surface, they see wriggling

inside them words of all kinds

and all shapes.

and the purple cloud

Chiara Sorrentino

Un libro che tratta con tatto e sensibilità il tema

dell’ansia nei più piccoli, individuando la soluzione

nell’amicizia, nel supporto e nella comprensione.

La prima volta che Lola vide la nuvola viola stava aspettando la

mamma all’uscita di scuola, ma la lei era in ritardo. Più il tempo

passava, più il groviglio di preoccupazione cresceva, fino ad

assomigliare a una nuvola. Ma non una nuvola bianca e leggera,

bensì una nuvola viola, pesante e attraversata da piccoli lampi e

tuoni, che le bloccava i piedi e le annebbiava la vista…

One morning the teacher asked Lola:

‘What is eight times nine?’

‘Seventy-two’, thought Lola, but that very

same tangle formed again in her head.

‘What if I’m wrong?’

The purple cloud reappeared.

Lola tried to shake it away, but the cloud

didn’t budge, and hammered at her temples.

Small drops began to fall on Lola’s cheeks.

It was the purple cloud’s rain.

‘The teacher is angry with me...’

But it wasn’t that at all. The teacher

approached Lola and encouraged her

to recite the eight times table.

With each sound that came from Lola’s mouth,

the cloud dwindled.

A Ball of Yarn

B. Buttini, C. Soriano

Once upon a time there was a ball of yarn, as soft and white

as snow. It had been taken from a large hank and rolled into

a ball with love. Every day mother added a little more yarn to

be sure the ball always remained perfectly round. Proud to

be so perfect and so loved, the ball of yarn decided to go out

and show itself to the world. It saw so many beautiful things

all around and ventured into beautiful new places! It was all

so different from the nice, safe straw basket with a silk lining

where it was placed every evening.

A poetic tale about the good and bad times in

life that make us proud to be who we are.

Joey didn’t like the dark, but he loved the velvety night sky on winter

evenings, when the north wind, with its icy breath, swept the air and

polished the stars until they were bright and shiny.

He had a particular fondness for the moon: he loved to observe it in

all its phases. And it is the moon, a special friend, that will help Joey

overcome his fear of the dark and the night.

THE NOISE

in theBOX

Brian Freschi • Giulia Pintus

There once was a little girl who loved her grandmother’s attic,

because it had all sorts of things inside: mannequins, carnival

clothes, old broken umbrellas and even a stuffed gorilla. But the

reason the little girl went up into the attic was very small and very

mysterious: a little white wooden box. When she picked it up, she

heard a very special noise coming from inside ...

A book dedicated to the power of fantasy, in a collection of sounds

and stories beyond the imagination.

Sock World

In the orderly universe of Sock World, each sock sticks to its own kind

mixing things up?’ they ask. ‘Better to stay with your own kind. That

way there are no unpleasant surprises!’. Until one day…

Once upon a time, a long time ago, there was a child so small that

he could fit comfortably inside the corolla of a flower. Bianca looked

after him lovingly from the day she found him, tiny and alone, during

a heavy snowfall that had covered the whole village of Bijankik.

The little boy, whose skin and hair were the colour of milk, resisted

the frost by clinging to a snowdrop, and cried loudly. So the young

girl took him in as if he were her own son, opening her home and,

above all, her heart to him.

A touching narrative dedicated to a love that overcomes any

distance.
