Terrific Toys

Every toy tells a story. The materials they're made of, the process of creating them, their history, where they come from—the world of toys is anything but simple! Readers enter this world through accessible text that presents fun facts about toys from the past, the present, and different corners of the globe. This high-interest focus keeps readers entertained as they learn how art, history, STEM, and business come together in an area of life they know well. This cross-curricular approach to learning is made even more fun through the inclusion of full-color photographs as part of a vibrant design.

Key Features of Each Volume:
• Playful tone that encourages curiosity
• Many examples of different toys that allow students to practice comparing and contrasting
• An invitation to think critically about the world around us, including why some toys are used in some countries and why toys from the past might differ from toys in the present
