Here's my interpretation of World Book Day!! Our World Book Encyclopedia set came with these great Childcraft Books that had stories and poems in them. These 3 books from the set hold some of my favorite memories and poems!! #WorldBookDay #GrandpaDroppedHisGlassesInAPotOfDye #TheSugarPlumTree #TheRaggedyMan

Also can't leave out these gems. These are the 1995 editions I got when I was 7 and then read cover to cover countless times. I was such a weird kid.

When I was 6, my mom went to a garage sale and came home with the ENTIRE Childcraft library (1974 edition). And it was like my birthday and Christmas came walking through that door! I read, re-read and memorized those books. I read the crap out of the Stories and Fables and the Poems and Rhymes books. They were my #cheapthrills as a kid and even thinking about them now as an adult gives me a rush. Childcraft was my first crush 💕#lyricalapril

JacqMac My mom bought those too! I loved them sooo much. 8y

Amandajoy Wow! I'm still a little irritated that my mom donated my set after I left home. 8y
Laura317 I loved those! Did yours have the story of Peter, a boy in WW2 that got the airdrop from the American forces? That was one of my favorite stories. 🤔Come to think of it, that's probably where my love of WW2 stories began! 8y
LeahBergen I remember these from my elementary school library! 💗 8y
mrp27 My library has these and my niece is addicted! Her favorite is the fairy tales. 8y
