Description

This exciting book provides an interesting and engaging look at the history of toys and games. The left hand page details historical photographs, indicating to the reader how vastly different toys and games once were. The right hand page details how those toys and games look now in dynamic colour photographs. This construct informs the reader that objects and technologies change over time, and that what is recognisable now may become a relic in the future. Colourful images and bite-sied chunks of text will be sure to engage even the most reluctant of readers.
