Appalachian Toys and Games: From A to Z

48 pp. | Kentucky | March, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8131-4104-6 $17.95
(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Pat Banks. Each letter of the alphabet represents a nineteenth-century Appalachian toy or game. There's lots of rich and interesting information to engage children (how to make an apple doll, rules for playing marbles), and sunny (somewhat unpolished) watercolors dominate the pages. Unfortunately, the format is inaccessible: the too-dense (and self-consciously folksy) text and small type will make reading difficult for most kids. Bib., glos.
