Reviews
“A diverse read for anyone interested in contemporary toy research from the perspectives of children’s object play and toys as a historical communicative platform. The book also provides insightful chapters on the relationships between toys and art and designing for play – emerging areas of study which prove that the power of the toy medium ranges beyond playthings.” (Katriina Heljakka, toy and play researcher at University of Turku, Finland)
