"Toys, Games, and Media provides an impressive overview of the toy
culture, children, and digital media, and the influence of
technology on play." "Highly Recommended."
—CHOICE"Toys, Games, and Media provides a fascinating picture of
the ways in which computer-mediated play is transforming the lives
of both children and adults in the twenty-first century. It both
raises and helps to answer important questions about our rapidly
changing media environment. The book has much to recommend it. Its
perspective is multicultural."
