Childcraft

[1] The Childcraft series was originally created in 1934 by W. F. Quarrie & Company, then publishers of the World Book encyclopedia.

Childcraft was created as a sort of encyclopedia for young children.

With simple texts and illustrations, the volumes were designed to make learning fun.

Each volume addressed different subjects, including literature — such as short stories and poetry, including fairy tales and nursery rhymes — as well as mathematics and the sciences.

The Childcraft set also added a separate, optional, special annual volume each year, starting in 1965.
