When Mother Lets Us Make Toys - antique children's book from 1915

This charming antique book features step-by-step instructions for children to follow so that they may construct their own toys, models and playthings. The book is bound in tan cloth boards with a color cover illustration. Book is in fair condition; rear endpaper is missing, as is a portion of the "Foreword" page. The last blank page, and pages 23, 29 and 35, are torn. Covers are soiled and faded. However, the book's contents are still legible, including the author's own detailed diagrams and illustrations. Rich aims his writing at the child, directing them on how to prepare their supplies and materials and construct ingenious baby carriages, ladders and other fascinating toys. A scarce title. 122 pages; approx. 5"x7".
