Abstract: "Wham-O's irresistible toys have practically defined childhood for generations, bringing kids-and adults-together indoors and out." "Wham-O Super-Book celebrates more than 200 fun and sometimes off-the-wall playthings dreamed up with a creative abandon appropriate for a company started by two childhood friends: from early outdoor adventure toys like Dueling Swords and Jungle Machetes to sporty classics like the Frisbee, Hula Hoop, and Hacky Sack to more oddball entertainments such as Mr. Hootie Rake, Magic Window, and Instant Fish." "Featuring a fascinating history of the toys, and packed with photographs and vintage ads and graphics, the astonishing Wham-O Super-Book is amazing fun for everyone!"--Jacket.
