Affiliate Link – Toy Time!
I’m a sucker for toys, and as many of you know I’m also a sucker for books about toys. And now I see that Toy Time!: From Hula Hoops to He-Man to Hungry Hungry Hippos: A Look Back at the Most- Beloved Toys of Decades Past* was released last month, so my eyes are on the mail as I await the arrival of a new book about toys! You can look inside the book at Amazon.com* . . . of you can wait and if I am smart I’ll post a review in a few weeks after I’ve read the book.
Christopher Byrne is someone who knows toys, and the colorful and beautifully designed Toy Time is the perfect conduit for him to write about the topic he knows and loves so well. The book, by itself, captures all the whimsy the toys inside it have inspired through the years. It’s just page after page of fun. Not only looking at the toy themselves, but also thanks to Chris’ descriptions and commentary. Even the toys you didn’t have, you’ll enjoy in Toy Time. It’s like having a full set of Sears Christmas Wish Books from the Baby Boomer years. You won’t even mind if your favorite toy is left out.
