Description
Polly Pocket was a toy that took the big world of dolls and put it in a tiny compact. Now The Toys That Made Us: Polly Pocket takes the big world of toy making into a little book.
Within its pages is the history of a line that revolutionised the toy shelves from its inception and release in the 90s to its resurgence nearly a decade later, all the way to its ongoing legacy as a toy of infinite nostalgia. Read the story of a pocket-size doll's global influence on the toy world and the father-daughter relationship that made it happen.
The Toys That Made Us: Polly Pocket also features exclusive interviews from key players at Mattel, Bluebird Toys, and Polly Pocket Collectors as well as vibrant and original colour illustrations.
