Changes: Toys and Games - Softcover

Provides children with opportunities to compare photographs, paintings, postcards and objects as they investigate how games and toys have changed over the past century. (Infant Projects: Victorians)

This is an ideal title to help at KS1 as it fulfils various criteria in the National Curriculum...a very welcome addition to many school and SLS libraries. (School Librarian Journal, Winter 2002)

[With] detailed notes for teachers. A high point is the colouful layout, which separates areas of reading by coloured lines and arrows. (TES Teacher)

This book uses a variety of pictures (for example, photos, paintings, postcards and objects) to look at different types of toys and games in the past - from educational and outdoor games to dolls and teddy bears. It has pictures from the Victorian period to present day, so children can make comparisons between the toys they have today and those their parents and grandparents may have played with. Notes at the back for parents and teachers give some more information about the pictures and suggest questions that could be asked about them when reading the book together with the child.
