Childcraft

Childcraft – The How and Why Library is for children, particularly for children from preschool through the primary grades. It is a resource library designed to initiate lifelong learning by answering children's questions and stimulating new interests and curiosity. It satisfies children's need to understand the world of information, imagination, and feelings.

Childcraft is a fifteen-volume set, organized by topic and designed especially to provide young children with an enjoyable first reading experience. The first two volumes offer a selection of the best in children's literature for reading aloud and sharing. The next twelve volumes invite children to explore the world around them – including plants, animals, science, technology, shapes and numbers, geography, and much more. The fifteenth volume includes a cumulative index, as well as information for parents and other caregivers on children's growth and development.

Throughout the set, children's questions are answered in words and pictures that are easy to understand and fun for adults and children to share. Illustrations are treated as an important part of learning. Full-color and excellent graphic design are important actors in keeping interest and motivation high. Phonetic pronounciations, glossaries, and detailed indexes help guide young readers throughout the volumes. Fun facts, games, and simple activities also make the information engaging and light.

Childcraft creates opportunities for interaction between children and adults by providing activities and information that are developmental ly appropriate for children. Childcraft is an invitation for children to learn and explore.
