I haven't seen the Italian ones before but there was a whole series of these available in English many years back. They are known as "Playmobil Playtower" books and were published by Readers Digest in the late 1990s - out of print now so hard to come by in unused condition.

My son had one when he was little called "Sir Roland Saves Lion Castle" which included a knight figure. I also have an ACW-themed one with a soldier figure packed away, "The Stampede at Fort Glory." :)

Btw, there was also a range of pop-up books for young children which are quite cute.

Here's a UK shop selling the pop-up books at reasonable prices (as opposed to some of the greedy sellers on Amazon ::)).
They are secondhand but described as being in very good condition.

Claudia Schott's page has some examples of other Playmobil book series:

Before I really started collecting Playmobil, I remember the boys had two or three books with figures.  One was the skin diver and the other had a fireman with it., I think the other may have had a knight, but I'm not sure.
Unfortunately the books are long gone  :-[  but we still have the skin diver and the fireman from them.

Wow, I'm surprised I never saw them! We always took readers digest, so you'd think I would have seen them advertised. Of course, I wasn't collecting then, but still I would think they'd catch my eye. Thanks for the link, sylvia, I may have to consider this, ;D

there's even more books, you can see them in the 'Merchandise' section in the 3rd edition of the collector's book, Bonnie

I'll try to take pictures of mine...I have the pop up ones Sylvia talks about

If I ever come across those, I'll have to get them too. I want to start endoctrinating my kids early! :lol:
