Get reacquainted with the greatest toys of all time in a new, lavishly illustrated book, Classic Toys of the National Toy Hall of Fame, by Scott G. Eberle, Vice President for Interpretation at Strong National Museum of Play^®. (You can enjoy some of Scott Eberle’s personal toy memories on the Play Stuff blog.)

The book traces the history of the toys that have been inducted into the prestigious National Toy Hall of Fame—the toys Americans have grown up with and still love today. In this coffee-table compendium of photos, anecdotes, and fascinating historical facts, you will discover how these toys came to be—who invented them, how they were made, where they were sold, why we played with them, and what made them so popular. From Alphabet Blocks to View-Masters^®, these are the toys that have engaged and delighted multiple generations.
