This review is from: Business Builders in Toys and Games (Hardcover)

In Business Builders In Toys And Games, children's author Nathan Aaseng provides young readers ages 10 and older an amazing spotlight on the evolution of seven enterprising individuals and the companies they founded to create famous toys and games, ranging from Hiroshi Yamauchi and Nintendo's incalculable contribution to video games; to Gary Gygax and the history of role-playing "games without winners"; to Joshua Lionel Cowen and his famous line of toy trains; to Kirk Christiansen and the history of Lego blocks. Black-and-white photographs illustrate this involving "toys and game maker" biographical anthology. Also very highly recommended are the other volumes comprising this unique entrepreneur biography series: Business Builders In Computers; Business Builders In Cosmetics; Business Business Builders In Real Estate, Builders In Fashion; Business Builders In Fast Food; and Business Builders In Oil.
