Childcraft is a multi-volume illustrated anthology for children, which originated in the late 1930s. 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. Designed especially for preschool and primary-grade children and for the older child who needs high-interest, easy-to-read materials. Childcraft also serves as a resource for parents, teachers, and librarians. This book is Volume 11 People and Places.
