literature and books are a subject such as reading and language arts.
"Literature" is one word that means "books and written composition."
A word for something that children play with is toy.
To play is "jouer" in French.
From the late 14th. century, from Latin lit(t)eratura"learning, writing, grammar," originally "writing formed with letters," from lit(t)era "letter."
The word "jouer" in French usually means "to play," while the word "avec" means "with." Put the two together, and you get "to play with."
