Cherishing ChildCraft books

My first babysitting job came when I was about 11.
My twin sister and I took turns caring for
my mom's co-worker's baby daughter.



 Fast-forward about 30 years, when I caught up
with mother and daughter on Facebook and Etsy.


 Beth graciously sent me nearly a complete set
of ChildCraft books from 1942
since she knew they would sell well on Etsy.




They are all filled with wonderful stories,
gorgeous period illustrations 
and child-reading tips,
though some of those are very out-dated!




Each one is now available for sale in my Etsy shop.
In the meantime, I am enjoying them myself.

Love those books when I was a kid. But I lost most of my childcraft books. I will buy my kids a full set of those fun books!!
