Kid's Craft Book
When I was a kid, my favorite books included Betty Crocker's Children's cookbook, a series of science and information books called Tell Me Why, and The McCall's Make-It Book.
I can't even tell you how many hours of my childhood were devoted to perusing the Make-it book, begging my brother Rog to make stuff (like the wooden cat cradle that I cannot believe I allowed myself to throw away in one of my dreaded de-clutter phases last year).
This book is now held together with little pieces of tape, but I love it dearly still. Here's a sampling (click on the photos for more detail).

The Betty Crocker Kids CookBook was one of my favorite favorite books too!! I can remember the illustrations in there so clearly.

I still have the Betty Crocker Kids cookbook and I also have the Childcraft series which includes a great craft book. My daughter is pouring over the pages these days! Fun, how stuff like that never gets old.
I had the McCall's Make-it Book too! And I saved it, too! I think I brought it home from my parents' recently. I'll have to look around...

I had that book too! and I looooved it....made lots of stuff from it....just looking at your pictures of the book makes me want to go upstairs and sew! I need to pop over to my mom's and see if she still has it.
Hey, thanks for this trip down memory lane!
A friend of mine recently went on a big search for The Make It Book (that's how I ended up finding your blog.) She posted a few other pictures from the book here:
