A classic toy takes on a distinctly bookish bent with our entertaining
Magic Library Jacob's Ladder. Six hand-painted wooden "books" (including
Moby Dick, Beloved, and
The Great Gatsby) are laced together with brown ribbon, flipping and falling over one another in an entrancing display. Revisit an old favorite toy or introduce a young reader to the mind-bending behavior of this simple contraption. Ages 3 and up.
