Review of 'Toys!' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Fun book with an interesting selection of toys. It is organized as one toy per chapter, giving the history, and at the end of each chapter is a list of other interesting facts. The arrangement worked well--allows for more intresting factoids without trying to strain the narrative part to fit them in. While mostly generations-old toys, also touched on video games and Pokemon. A light fun read, easy to read in chunks. The illustrations were fun and fit well into the chapters.
