(ca 1940); 2 1/2 x 3; pp. [20]; pictorial wraps in blue, pink, and beige; illustrated with numerous drawings; a faint, vertical crease to front wrap, else very minor wear; very good to near fine condition. Childhood Interests, a New Jersey toy manufacturer if the first half of the 20th century, were known for their innovative approach of numbering and grading their "Right-time Toys" in sequence, depending on the children's age, covering their basic needs for a "balanced development." The book described the combination-wood-and-plastic toys, from No. 1 to No. 18, beginning with the Cradle Companion for 3-month-olds, through the Rain Rattles, the Rhytm Stick, etc. to the Hobby Lumber Yard for 7-to-12-year-olds. Not in OCLC, not in the trade. Very good .
