Vintage 1989 Hardcover Children's Book. Childcraft Vol. 9 "Holidays and Birthdays".
The Childcraft children's books series were designed as a resource library for children, parents, teachers and librarians. With 15 volumes in the series, they covered literature, language, science, natural history, technology and more.
This is Volume 9 in the Childcraft Series "How and Why Library" entitled "Holidays and Birthdays". The contents are Holiday Time and then a chapter/calendar for all the 12 months and the holidays/birthdays celebrated within. Well-known and lesser known holidays are all explored! Everything from Christmas to May Day, Easter to Hanukkah, Halloween to Midsummer Day, Ramadan to Queen Victoria's Birthday, Guy Fawkes Day to Moomba and more from all around the world. Examples of stories included are: A Visit from St. Nicholas, An excerpt on Independence Day from "Farmer Boy" by Laura Ingalls Wilder, My Mother Is the Most Beautiful Woman in the World - A Russian Folk Tale and so much more.
I love this series because you get a good comprehensive collection on a subject, all in one book.
336 pages with colour illustrations.
Very Good Condition. No writing or tears.
