| Synopsis: |
Children in America were playing with tiny bows and arrows and miniature harpoons before the colonists came with their dolls and tin whistles. While author O'Brien magically evokes the wonder of toys in America, his primary aim is to tell the story of the individual craftsmen, innovators, and entrepreneurs behind all the toys--from rocking horses to Tinker Toys to Cabbage Patch Kids. 300 illustrations; 200 in full color.
