What We're Reading: Tracy

Wham-O Super Book: Celebrating 60 Years Inside the Fun Factory, by Tim Walsh.

This is turning out to be a year of great toy milestones: Barbie's 50th birthday arrived in March, and now it's the 60th anniversary of the Wham-O toy company, creators of such iconic American playthings as Super Balls, Frisbees, Hula Hoops, Slip n' Slide, Silly String, Hacky Sacks, and my favorite from the 1970s, the Magic Window. The Wham-O Super Book is a fitting tribute to this fun company, bursting with colorful imagery, including original advertising and graphics from scores of their best products.
