Published to accompany an exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, this book surveys more than 100 years of toys, clothing, playgrounds, schools, children’s hospitals, nurseries, furniture, posters, animation and books

This richly illustrated catalogue illuminates how progressive design has enhanced the physical, intellectual, and emotional development of children and how models of children’s play have informed experimental aesthetics and imaginative design thinking.
