Title:  Toys!: Amazing Stories behind Some Great Inventions
AuthorDon L. Wulffson, Laurie Keller (Illustrator)

Reviewed by: Erin F. '12

This book is about how toys are made and what the toys were really going to be. One story is about how silly putty came to be. It was really going to be used in World War II for rubber, but it came out to be a toy that kids like to play with. I liked reading and learning about what some toys were really going to be. Some of the toys I read about I still use or used to play with when I was younger. I enjoyed reading this book a lot.

I highly recommend TOYS! to any one who likes to hear and read about inventions. I hope you choose to read this!
