103-year-old Eddy Goldfarb is a world-renowned toy inventor, with a passion for writing witty and memorable short stories. This is Eddy's second volume of stories. An Even Bigger Day provides the rare opportunity to enter the mind of a centenarian as he shares the memories of his life and the expanse of his imagination. His stories, both 100-word and longer short stories, explore his life and childhood; his experiences serving on the Batfish Submarine during World War II; his early years as a toy inventor; his clever and poignant observations about aging; and his fantastical tales about the mysteries of the world we live in. Eddy is best known for inventing the Yakity-Yak ("chattering") Teeth, Stompers, KerPlunk, Vac-U-Form, Bubble Gun, and more than 800 classic toys over his 80-year career as an independent toy inventor. He is a WWII veteran who served in the Navy as a radar technician on the Batfish Submarine, where he invented his first toys. In 2003, Eddy was inducted in the Toy Industry Hall of Fame. Eddy Goldfarb is featured in the 2020 award-winning documentary short Eddy's World.
